For those of you who have built, touched or even just seen the Yellow Aircraft SCALE COCKPIT DETAIL KIT............SPIT151
I was looking for some feedback as to 'scaleness', weight ,construction and value. (as in is it worth it)

Thanks,
Brad

My Spit is in my van. Leaving for Warbirds at Mac Hodges. I did not find the weight to be a factor and since I have never seen a real Spit interior it looks like the pictures. I used a Action figure British Pilot and I like the look. I will never try to be in Top Gun so its clos enough for me. Stuka Jon

Thanks Leo,
I am in the process of deciding on whether to purchase a Y/A Spitfire and your Bubble canopy conversion as we discussed earlier so will get back to you on that again and the cockpit too. I assume you would be able to post them together?

Cheers all

Brad

Status: offline 		IMHO the cockpit kit is a piece of junk if you are looking for scale. It's only half depth, and waaayyy over priced for what you get. Might as well buy a TF P-51 cockipt kit and modify it to fit... Then again Leo did do a very nice job on his, and if it would work for you, go for it. Otherwise I might make him an offer myself! I do highly recommend Leo's bubble canopy conversion. I used it myself on my Spit under construction.

Status: offline 		The YA cockpit kit I show in these pictures was acquired in a multi kit purchase I made with a guy in Florida recently. I do not know much about it's origin other than it is said to be a YA cockpit. I called YA and they say this kit is pre-finished as delivered. So this must be what it looks like. Cost is $100 from them. I don't plan to post out on RCU for a while as I catch up on some orders from previous posts. If you want to buy this cockpit and/or a Bubble Canopy Conversion just send me a PM and I'll get back to you.

The cockpit is now mine. More than enough of a start for me to work on.

I shall link this thread to my build of my new model.

Cheers,
