DeanKB Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The MDC cockpit is wonderful, but isn't it designed for Hasegawa's Bubbletop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Yes, it is but if I'm not mistaken (I haven't researched any differences between the two cockpits [bubbletop vs. razorback]), I think you might only need to change the aft bulkhead-armor plate...and use the corrugated floor of course. That and NO INTERIOR GREEN! Edited April 20, 2019 by Juggernut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Color is Dull Dark Green, and the cockpit set includes the corrugated floor. You would just need to use the kit's back plate. And possibly adjust to fit the Trumpy kit. LSP_K2 and MikeMaben 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and NO INTERIOR GREEN! Trust me,i ve surch that plane so much i know the route of its pipes!,i know the diffs...but does it fit right in?!(in terms of dimensions)-i see too in excellent builds the wrong int colour,after having difficulty finding ready made d.d.green(w.ensign),i found out Gunze s IJN green is spot on(spraying over the w.e there wasn t even a weathering kind of shade difference,as they were out of the same bottle!)
