  • cockpit floor

  • cockpit sidewalls

  • 2 choices of instrument panels (resin or resin and photo etch layered)

  • fuselage frame behind pilot

  • multi part resin and photo etch seats with frame behind seat

  • photo etch cockpit door

  • resin and photo etch accessories to detail sidewalls

  • pre-painted photo etch seat belts

There are 6 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.

There is no doubt that 1/72 scale is a tiny scale and there is also no doubt that the Spitfire has endless detail that begs to be done right.  This multi-media set gives you all the delicate cockpit detail that will bring your tiny Spitfire to life in an exceptional way.

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