Pavla recently released a cockpit set for the earlier Airfix Sea Harrier FRS.1 and now we have a set for the last of the Sea Harriers, the FA.2 version. This set contains a new tub, instrument panel with anti-glare shield, cockpit sidewalls, a new bang seat, rudder pedals, cockpit piping and a new control stick. You might want to keep the kit control stick handy as mine had snapped off during shipping.

In addition to all the various bits, there is an assembly and painting guide included. This tells of what kit parts need to be trimmed away and gives all the colors needed for the cockpit and bang seat. In all, it is a very nicely done set and is miles ahead of the kit offerings in terms of detail.
