REVIEWER:

Scott Van Aken

Second set is for the interior, and here things get a bit more complex. Once again, this superbly done set is able to fit the Airfix or Hasegawa kit. I would imagine that you could use this for the Matchbox version should you be so inclined.

There is an acetate sheet with instruments for the various panels that are provided with this set. Most of the radio boxes will have to be built by the modeler and specs are provides as to how large these are. You can make them from solid plastic block or out of small sections of card glued into a box shape. Others are to use the kit parts, with the various details removed to be replaced by the photo etched bits. A full cockpit floor and access way is provided in photo etch to replace the bulky or non-existent kit versions.

Not just the cockpit section, but also all the turrets and gun positions have bits for them. You can see the ammo feed belts and once again, you'll have to cut some styrene strip to attach these to before gluing them along the wall. Of course, we cannot forget the chemical toilet, which is also included!

A superb set that will provide a lot of additional detail and modeling enjoyment.
