Responsibility details are not available.
A photo-etched metal set from the Czech company Eduard, aimed at the flight deck of the 1:72 C-130H model. By its classification these are etched parts, that is an accessory for a kit. On the Hercules cockpit detail makes sense even in a small scale, because the glazing of the forward fuselage is extensive and you really can see inside.
The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop transport aircraft with a high-set wing, a loading ramp in the tail and landing gear retracted into fairings on the sides of the fuselage. The design, with a cargo floor of constant width, allows bulky loads to be carried. The C-130H version is one of the most widespread forms and it was operated by a number of countries. The flight deck is exceptionally well glazed, including windows above the crew's heads, and besides the pilots there is room in it for further crew members.
Cockpit sets typically contain parts with ninety-degree folds. A photo-etch bending tool handles them best: the part is clamped exactly on the fold line and bent in one smooth movement. Without a bending tool the small parts are folded between two razor blades. Never bend the metal back and forth, because it cracks along the fold. Glue the instrument panel and the side consoles in only after they have been painted, so that the glue does not ruin the finished surface. Given how extensively the Hercules is glazed it pays not to rush: once the cockpit is closed up you cannot correct anything. Before installation, check by dry fitting that the parts do not stop the fuselage from closing.
The package contains add-on parts only. The kit itself, glues and paints are not included, unless stated otherwise.
