Well, you saw the canopy set for this kit so figured it wouldn't be long before the whole cockpit set was reviewed and here it is. Pavla has done a great job with this one with detail that is a couple of notches above what is provided in the kit. The set requires the backlight and anti-glare panel to be removed from the kit, but the rest is pretty much a drop fit.

In addition to the two new canopies, you get a new floor/nose wheel well section as well as new side walls. A new seat accompanies this and you get a new control stick, instrument panel and area behind the seat. A pair of new braces for the nose gear assembly are also included. Pavla provides a full set of instructions and a most complete painting guide for this one, so it should not be difficult for even the relative newcomer to complete the set.
