This detail set from SBS Model features a complete resin and photo etch cockpit for the Bf-109F-2/F-4 from Zvezda.  

This cockpit set includes:

  • cockpit tub with seat

  • 2 sidewalls

  • resin and photo etch instrument panel with acetate gauges 

  • resin parts include gun breach cover, control stick gun site with acetate "glass", headrest pad etc

  • The photo etch fret include everything from rudder pedals to trim tab wheels and pilot armor plating behind his headrest and of course seatbelts and more.

As far as I can see this cockpit set is well researched and includes all you need to make a very accurate and well detailed Bf-109F-2/F-4 cockpit.

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

You can purchase these and other fine resin detail items directly from SBS Model or from the many retailers that carry their products.
