Do you have the ESCI or Italeri 1/48 scale Henschel Hs 123 kit on your shelf, or perhaps want to get one but didn't want to deal with the barren cockpit? Your worries are over.

AMtech has released a detail set that converts the landing gear on the stock aircraft into the unspatted version, then adds a Black Box cockpit to boot. The cockpit is abolutely beautiful (see photo below) filling in all of the areas inside the fuselage that would be visible from outside the cockpit. Look at the detailing and shape of the sideewalls that curve around to also make up the floor.

A beautifully detailed pilot's seat, rudder pedals, joystick, instrument panel, and forward and rear bulkheads round out the set.
