Good morning .
I have a small problem with an aftermarket cockpit from SOL for a 1/48 SU-27 from Academy. I built the model first with the regular cockpit. now I am building the same model, only with a little more detail. I have new cans and nozzles, bulging tires, even a photo-etched soviet AA missle detail kit. Also new decals, but the disappointment is the cockpit. I got the SOL cockpit, and is it just me or is it a piece of crap? I used an Aries cockpit on my mig-29 and was extremely pleased with it. The instructions for the SOL kit are pretty vauge. There are also alot of pieces in the kit that are not on the instrucion sheet. I have not found an Aries 1/48 cockpit for a SU-27. The only other kit I could find was by cutting edge model works. Any suggestions on what to use to replace my plain-jane cockpit? I definantly will not use the SOL kit that I wasted $18.00 on. I want to move on to the Hasagawa F-16 and AV-8B kits ( I usually build two at a time ) but need to get this flanker put to bed.
Thanks for any help.
