In Eduard’s ordinary fashion, they once again bring to life the cockpit of the AV-8B with the Night Attack interior. They have incorporated in their Photo Etch, new side panels with small boxes of instruments and throttles that resemble the real thing. Colored placards are placed around the cockpit to bring out true realism and a small sheet of film is used for the clear screen over some of the instruments readouts. Colored pieces for the instruments are also provided to apply over the panel for exact realism. There are also a lot of other small gadgets to add to the cockpit, such as mirrors and handles, and they are easy to fold and put in place.

In this kit there is a lot of cutting and replacing of panels and folding of the instruments which are then glued into place. Previously working with Photo Etch will help, and Eduard has all the pieces cut and measured to fit exactly. Sometimes the self adhesive doesn’t stick too well so a small drop of c.a. glue will ensure that the part will not go anywhere.

As always, I recommend this product for its great design and careful coloring of the parts. Not recommended for beginners but not hard to work up to this level.

My sincere thanks go out to Eduard Model Accessories for the sample and IPMS/USA for providing me with the opportunity to review this product.
