Pavla produces a wide range of detail sets for a variety of modeling subjects, primarily in 1/72 scale. This release is targeted for the Airfix 1/72 BAC Strikemaster kit. This release replaces the Spartan cockpit of the stock kit with some nicely cast and detailed resin parts.
Out of the box, the Airfix kit is a nice kit, but Pavla provides an eye-catching cockpit including a new tub with rear deck, nicely detailed ejection seats, detailed side walls, and a really nice instrument panel cluster. With some careful painting and detailing, you'll have a nice cockpit to display with that canopy open. To help with the canopy, the thicker kit part is replaced here with a vacuformed replacement.
If you want to update your classic Airfix kit, Pavla has the parts to get the job done!
Definitely recommended!
My sincere thanks to Pavla Models for this review sample.
