hayaman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) The MDC set is (along with Eagle s FW 190 sets) the best cockpit set for WW2 plane,if you re patient you can take MDC s corrugated floor(also offered in the set)and cut off dets such as hydr pumps,stick,and other floor mostly details,personally i don t like the 2D effect of p/etched but in some cases(instr.panels,placards) they look superb-the Barracuda SPOKE wheels(without the flat cover) are ok for N you just have to look for the right tyre pattern if any particular for the N or the particular plane you build-cockpit has many differences and at least 1 unique as the seat had arm rests-cheers Edited March 5, 2015 by hayaman Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayaman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 yes, here http://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=70551&start=285#p1447650 you can see how I installed the cockpit to the N fuselage. Important is to install bulkheads and auxiliary floor (the later made of a plastic sheet) before inserting the cockpit. If you need to, I can make N resin wheels for you http://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=70551#p1362776 Hi,i m building Razorback and i m planing to cut off details from MDC corrugated floor and attached them on the kit s,do you think the MDC set can be combined with the Razorback s back plate and then attach on the kit s fuselage?-cheers Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernut Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hey guys, any place to get the P-47 MDC Cockpit st in the USA? Chuck Nope, order right from Bob at MDC in the UK. First rate service and if there's a problem (and there rarely is), he makes sure you're taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I double this,their customer support is best of the best,even when i destroyed a small part and asked to buy it they send it free as a fellow modeler would have done-cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
