Cutting Edge released a beautiful airframe backdate set to convert
the Trumpeter 1/32 P-38J/L kit into the earlier P-38F/G/H. This
set (reviewed here) provides the necessary airframe changes to
the kit, but you'll need this set to backdate the cockpit as well.
This cockpit is a drop-in replacement for the Trumpeter kit, and
while the kit cockpit wasn't bad, this detail set gives the AMS
modeler more details to work with. The cockpit between the F/G/H
and the J/L versions were very similar, with the notable differences
being the control wheel and instrument panel layout.
The detail set provides a new cockpit floor/nosegear well, instrument
panel, rudder pedals, rear bulkhead, armor backplate and headrest,
radio tray behind the pilot, sidewalls,
new pilot's seat and frame, rubber-case posable seatbelts/harness,
and all of the other details needed to busy up the office.
The set will dress up the Trumpeter
1/32 P-38 and will give you more reason to leave the cockpit hood
and windows open!
Definitely recommended!
My sincere thanks to Meteor
Productions for this review sample!
