S.B.S. have announced their latest superdetailed cockpit sets for Hasegawa's popular 1:48 Mitsubishi Zeros.
Both sets combine highly detailed resin parts for the core of the upgrades, along with etched brass frets for items such as the instrument panels, seat harnesses and small levers and switches.

SBS 48028 is designed for Hasegawa's A6M2 Zero (Zeke)

SBS 48029 upgrades Hasegawa's A6M3 Zero (Hamp)

Both sets are available now, priced 14 Euros each.

anyone know if it fits the old tamiya kits too?

Hi Vance I imagine it probably won't without some modification - but where there's a will there's a way... All the best Rowan

The Hasegawa kit is quite troublesome to assemble in the wingroots, has an inferior canopy whose sides do not slope enough by quite a noticeable amount (though most seem to ignore it), and if I remember correctly does not show the leading edge washout which is a very visible feature of the entire leading edge... It is also 2 mm short in the fuselage from rudder post to the rear of the canopy. That this set is intended for the Hasegawa a bit baffling to me, as it gives the impression that by spending more you will have the equivalent of the new 1/48th Tamiya Zero... Not even close... I think rather than buy the Hasegawa kit, even on a steep rebate, and add this cockpit set, you are still far ahead with a new Tamiya kit for the final result, and for not much more... Now if this was intended for the Tamiya kit from the start, I would be more interested... Gaston

I wasn't aware that Tamiya had a new A6M2 out - that would be nice, but all I know of is their very old tool of it.
