The latest cockpit set from Pavla is this one for the new Trumpeter 1/72 Lightning F.6. Though I've not seen this kit as of yet, apparently the stock cockpit is rather barren. This one, however, is not and has tons of detail built right into the tub. The set also includes a highly detailed instrument panel and coaming along with a new control stick and very nicely done bang seat with straps. This appears to be pretty much a drop fit and so for those who want the additional detail afforded by this set, it couldn't be any simpler. What's even better, no large pour stub on the bottom of the cockpit tub. Just a few small attachment points to remove.
