Putting all the components together, here is the next new cockpit set from Pavla. This one is for the Italeri/Supermodel MB.326 and like most of their cockpit sets, replaces everything in there. A bit of cutting is required to remove the rear bulkhead and forward anti-glare panel, and this is shown in the instructions. You get a new tub, instrument panels, control stick, seats, canopy frame, canopy strut and some smaller bits for along the inside of the cockpit (actually, they look like map lights). To top all this, you get a two piece vacuformed canopy.

With other Pavla cockpit sets, you get full assembly and painting instructions. The molding is very good and sure beats the super basic cockpit in the original kit.
