11bee Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 The 1/32nd Revell G-6/14 kit has been out for a while now, haven't seen any resin cockpit sets released for it. Just curious if there are any decent resin bits out there? I was really hoping that Barracudacals would release something for the Revell G-6, similar in quality to their excellent P-51 cockpit set. Any recommendations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Didn't Aires just release a pit for the new Revell kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Didn't Aires just release a pit for the new Revell kit? Thanks Dave. I'll check it out. I would be curious if anyone has used this since I've heard many comments about Aires products being highly detailed but a bear to install. Regards, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anders_Isaksson Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Also there is a cockpit set from Eduard Not cheap and I can't comment on quality but it looks good to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Also there is a cockpit set from Eduard Not cheap and I can't comment on quality but it looks good to me. Wow... Definitely not cheap! That Aries kit looks pretty nice, I won't be starting my G-6 build for a month or so, hopefully LSP or some other site will have a review up by then. Hard to get a complete feel for the kit based on a single small picture on Aries' website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kahunaminor Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Hi, MDC in the UK have G6 cockpit sets. Primarily for the Hasegawa kit but it shouldn't be too much of a leap? Available at their websites and from Ultracast in Canada. Regards, Kent Edited December 21, 2013 by Kahunaminor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to get a complete feel for the kit based on a single small picture on Aries' website. If anyone's interested, here is a review of the new Aries G-6 cockpit: http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/2241-132-messerschmitt-bf-109g-6-cockpit-set/ Looks pretty impressive. I've been holding off purchasing because as mentioned above, I thought I caught a rumor somewhere that Barracudacals might be doing a resin cockpit set. If so, it would probably have been a hands down winner, both on quality and pricing. Given that the Revell kit has been out for well over a year, I'm guessing that this was nothing more than a rumor :(/> I'll report back on how well the Aries cockpit works out.

Jennings Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The dimensions of the Revell kit and the Hasegawa kits are so close, any cockpit designed for Hasegawa can pretty easily be made to fit the Revell kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the construction of the Revell kit had some significant differences than the Hase one. Wasn't sure if resin cockpits designed for the older Hase kit would necessarily fit.

Jennings Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 A little modeling skill... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 A little modeling skill... There was a day when I would have scratchbuilt the entire cockpit and it would have looked pretty darned nice. Time is at a premium nowadays, I'm fine with some minor tweaks to get the resin stuff to fit but don't want this to be a major undertaking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mikester Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Also there is a cockpit set from Eduard Not cheap and I can't comment on quality but it looks good to me. I did a review of the Eduard set a couple of months back: http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/1990-eduard-brassin-cockpit-for-revell-132-bf-109g-6/ The quality is very good but it is a little pricey.

dehowie Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Jennings speaks the truth. Measures them up a while ago looking for differences in the front ends and the cockpit dimensions lengthwise are basically identical. Should be an issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
