This particular set is designed for the Trumpeter 1/48 Sea Hawk. It includes the inner and outer wing fold detailing as well as a set of new resin flaps and the actuating mechanisms. As part of the set, a new one piece tail hook is provided. Though I've not seen the Trumpeter Sea Hawk kits in the flesh, so to speak, I can tell you that the detailing on the Pavla parts is first rate.

The instructions are well drawn and generic color information is provided so you can use the brand of your choice when it comes to painting. It looks very much like a no-brainer set and the level of quality is such that you won't be disappointed.
