About product

Eduard LööK 1:48 P-400, a cockpit accessory in resin and steel

The LööK accessory set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard is intended to improve the cockpit of a P-400 fighter model in 1:48 scale. It contains an instrument panel cast in resin, whose dials are rendered in color at the factory, and pre-printed steel seat belts. The set does not replace a kit: it assumes that you already have the aircraft model or are getting it at the same time.

The real subject

The P-400 designation was carried by Bell Airacobra fighters built to an export specification for British orders. The British were not satisfied with the type, so most of the machines were taken over by the US Army Air Forces and deployed in the South West Pacific. The Airacobra had an unusual layout for its day: the engine behind the pilot, a drive shaft running under the cockpit floor, a nose wheel and side doors instead of a sliding canopy. The cockpit is therefore clearly visible on a model and repays the attention.

Fitting tips

Wash the resin castings in lukewarm soapy water and let them dry thoroughly, otherwise neither paint nor glue holds. Cut the casting block off with a fine saw and level the surface with abrasive paper; work with respiratory protection, as resin dust should not be inhaled. Both the panel and the belts are bonded with super glue; cement for plastic will not join these materials. Before gluing the steel belts in, curve them over a round object so that they look like fabric, and fasten them only after the panel is in place. Always a dry fit first, and only then glue.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of American Second World War fighters in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who want a true cockpit without laborious painting of instruments
  • Builds with the side doors open, where the interior is on show
  • Those who prefer finished parts to detailing of their own

An accessory set, not a model. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

An export version of the American Bell Airacobra fighter ordered for Britain; most of the machines were eventually operated by the US Army Air Forces in the Pacific.

No. The set covers the instrument panel and the seat belts. The rest of the cockpit stays from the kit, or from another accessory.

Basic care is enough: wash the parts, cut the casting block off with a saw and bond with super glue. The set is among the easiest accessories to use.
