We can always count on Pavla to provide detail stuff for the 1/72 builder and in this case, it is a new cockpit set for the relatively recent Dragon Meteor F.III. The set includes a new cockpit tub that incorporates the nose wheel well, cockpit sidewalls, the bit that sits behind the cockpit seat, a new seat, new control stick (which in my set had broken away from the sprue), new instrument panel and new support braces for the nose gear attachment points. A vacuformed canopy in three sections is also included so you can show off that nice new cockpit.

This set will need a bit of trimming, but the instructions show what is needed where. This also includes color information. As with all Pavla sets, the molding is super and will do much to enhance your next Dragon Meteor.
