J. Rutman Productions has released a replacement resin cockpit for Trumpeter's 1/32 scale Lightning.

The set comprises 22 parts in cream coloured resin. The set completely replaces the Trumpeter kit parts, and includes radio, battery and a convincing fabric-textured coaming..

The resin parts are well detailed and a definite improvement over the cockpit supplied with the kit.

The parts are cleanly moulded, but there are a tiny pinholes here and there. These will best be treated with a coat of Mr Surfacer followed by sanding and polishing. Some very fine resin "flash" will be simple to clean up with a sharp knife and a sanding stick.

Recommended to experienced modellers.
