Reskit 1:32 A-7E Corsair II - early cockpit (Hyperdetailed edition) for Trumpeter is a 3D-printed resin detail set that replaces the cockpit of the plastic model. It is not an airplane kit but an accessory for the Trumpeter model.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a detail set - it is NOT an airplane kit. The set replaces the cockpit of the plastic model of the A-7E Corsair II in 1:32 scale from Trumpeter and corresponds to the early configuration of the cockpit. The parts are 3D-printed in resin. According to the manufacturer's assembly instructions the set contains the cockpit tub, the ejection seat, the instrument panel, the side consoles, the internal frame and canopy details, clear parts and decals with warning placards; the canopy can be built open or closed. The designation Hyperdetailed means the highest level of detail in the line: miniature 3D-printed switches, levers and knobs are inserted into the panels and consoles individually.
A late version of the same set also exists (likewise for the Trumpeter 1:32 kit) and the sets are not interchangeable. A comparison of the manufacturer's assembly instructions shows that they differ above all in the type of ejection seat (the early one matches the Escapac IC-2/IG-2 seat, the late one the SJU-8/A seat), and further in the instrument panel, the glare shield above it, the equipment of the tub behind the seat and the internal canopy frame. The A-7E cockpit changed during the career of the aircraft, so before you buy, check photographic documentation of the particular machine and period you want to build.
The LTV A-7 Corsair II was an American subsonic carrier-based attack aircraft. It grew out of the airframe of the supersonic F-8 Crusader, shortened and without an afterburner: the point was not speed but payload and range. The A-7E version was the main naval variant; the aircraft served in Vietnam and in Desert Storm, and its pilots nicknamed it SLUF. In 1:32 scale the cockpit is large and, with the canopy open, practically all of it is on show, so a detailed cockpit pays off as in no smaller scale.
Cut the parts off the print supports with a saw, not with cutters. Resin does not bond with cement for polystyrene - use cyanoacrylate glue, or epoxy on large surfaces. Before painting, wash the parts in warm soapy water, as uncured print resin residue otherwise stops the paint from adhering. Always sand wet: resin dust is harmful and must not be inhaled. Most of the time the original molded cockpit detail will have to be removed from the plastic so that the resin tub seats properly; test it dry. Touch in the micro items with a brush, and a wash will bring out the relief.
A detail set, not a model. The basic plastic kit, glue, paints and further accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
