Grindcore Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 As the title asks, what would be the best and correct aftermarket cockpit for a 1/48 Hasegawa F/A-18A+? Was the A+ upgraded to a C cockpit? Thanks, Jimmy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

graves_09 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The biggest difference in the A vs C cockpit are the analog vs digital fuel displays, which didn't get upgraded in the A+. Much of the other changes will not be noticed by the modeler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I can tell you from recent, very recent, experience that the 1:48 Aires F/A-18A cockpit hardly fits. It requires a lot of modification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grindcore Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 What about the Black Box cockpit? I see that it has both A and C IPs. Has anyone used it? Any fit issues? It seems that only Aires and Black Box have A cockpits, besides Eduard PE. Thanks again everyone, Jimmy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I currently have one in a cockpit, the only thing I don't like is the hell-hole behind the cockpit, it doesn't represent what I worked on. I prefer the Aires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grindcore Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 It's starting to look like "get both" time. Gives me an excuse to get another Hasegawa A lol. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
