There are 4 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  The instructions also include painting instructions.

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.

This is a very inclusive cockpit set with all the delicate detail you want to make your cockpit stand out.  The 2 choices for the instrument panel is a nice touch.  If you use the resin instrument panel then a bit of drybrushing will make the details show well.

You can buy this detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories.
