This new release from Aires features a complete resin cockpit for the 1/48 J35/J Draken.  

This cockpit set is designed for the Hasegawa kit and includes everything you need to do away with the kit cockpit and add this super detailed resin beauty.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free and the detail level spot on.....you can really add the detail.  The ejection seat rails are cast as part of the tub.......but the delicate I Beams are perfectly cast.  

You also get a acetate sheet for the instrument panel showing all the instruments in full detail.  Plus you get a photo etch sheet with a wonderfully detailed instrument panel, seatbelts, rudder pedals, and sides for the HUD and so much more.  The seatbelts come with separate buckles.....you weave the seatbelts through the buckles........super detailers are going to have fun with this set.   

For me I prefer to go with a resin cockpit and keep the canopy open to show off all that detail and this resin cockpit will definitely give you an eye popping cockpit in your next 1/48 J35/J Draken.  You will not be disappointed with the detail level of this cockpit set.

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

I would like to thank Aires for providing me with this review sample.
