hworth18 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Long story short, I bought a new tool Revell Bf109G-6 kit from an estate sale and it's missing the entire cockpit. I've found 2 (maybe 3) aftermarket manufacturers that make aftermarket cockpits, Eduard and Aries and possibly Wingz. Which would be a better option for an aftermarket resin cockpit? I've not heard many good things about the Aries cockpit, so I am leaning towards the Eduard and I've never heard of Wingz before. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!! zaxos345 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanes Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Barracuda might be worth a look - they have loads of beautiful resin for the Revell 109s LSP_K2 and hworth18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul2660 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Also Eagle editions. They make a set I believe. I know they have one for the K model. Paul hworth18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look here, hope you get a point, regarding Eduard Brassin set! John! P.S. As for the fit, it was a drop one!!

Gary Needham Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Whilst designed for the Hasegawa kits, I always found the 'MDC' resin 109 pits to be superb packages. With a small bit of work, I am sure they will fit the Revell one too.. anyone have experience of this? Gary hworth18 and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gorgeous though, I will say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
