This new resin cockpit set from Starfighter Decals includes all the resin goodies to dress up the cockpit on your 1/72 Heller SBC-4 Helldiver. 

This detail set includes;

  • Front bulkhead with instrument panel

  • Right sidewall

  • Left sidewall

  • Radio Gear

  • Aft Instrument Panel

  • Floor

  • Seat

  • Turtledeck insert

  • Fore wheel well bulkhead

  • Aft wheel well bulkhead

The resin parts are beautifully cast and the instructions walk you through the process of installing this cockpit set.  Safe to say this set will be a big improvement over the Heller kit cockpit detail.  The raised detail on the instrument panel should respond well to drybrushing.  The seat is a marvelous little item and wonderfully thin and accurate looking.

This is a nicely done cockpit set and well worth picking up to use in your next 1/72 Heller SBC-4 Helldiver.  Starfighter Decals has a quite the variety of decals and detail items for pre-war American aircraft, so drop by their site and check out their product line if you have a passion for the early American aircraft.
