Aftermarket cockpits for Revell 1/32 Bf-109's

[TBC]

Looking for some input on the "best" aftermarket cockpit for the Revell 1/32 G-6 and G-10 kits. I've seen builds that utilized Aires sets and, oddly enough, no naughty words were used. Thoughts? Thanks.

I used one of those Aires sets for a 109 four years ago and although the detail is very nice the fit was not great - the sidewalls were too small. Would not buy it again to be honest. Maybe consider the Eduard Brassin option?

The Brassin set mentioned by Elger is your best choice for these particular kits for the cockpits.

Also, and depending on how far you want to go with these kits there are additional reasonably priced aftermarket items to correct the noticeable 'odd' areas of both the G-6 and G-10.

Barracuda provide resin replacement items which would be a sound investment; see http://barracudacals.com/products.php?cat=13

Also and again depending on how far you want to go, a virtual 'drop-fit' resin cowling replacement with correctly contoured Beule etc is available from here for the G-6:  http://amurreaver.ru/?p=477

This same company also have a complete and correctly contoured forward fuselage/cowling replacement to replace the same oddly shaped area of the Revell G-10.

As mentioned, all of these items are both reasonably priced and very well made; you won't be disappointed with whatever you choose.
