For some, just a few bits and pieces are not enough as they want the full monty when it comes to cockpit sets. Pavla provides that for the 1/72 Alpha Jet. This set is designed for the Airfix or Heller kit, though it may well fit the Fujimi one as well.

Included in the set is a brand new and very detailed cockpit tub with two seats, a choice of front instrument panels/coamings (one has a gun sight), a rear instrument panel, control sticks ruder pedals and canopy braces. The set also has a new vacuformed canopy. Unlike the earlier one, this one is molded as one piece.

There is some modification needed to the kit to install this, but Pavla provides full instructions that include this as well as painting information.

It is a great set and is just the ticket to spruce up these older kits.
