You said: AIRES 4199 COCKPIT SET
The Aires 4199 Cockpit Set is a premium aftermarket 1:48 scale resin detail kit designed specifically for the Hasegawa AV-8B Harrier II Plus plastic model aircraft. [1]
Key Specifications
- Brand: Aires Hobby Models
- Part Number: 4199
- Scale: 1:48
- Target Kit: Designed specifically for the Hasegawa AV-8B Harrier II Plus kit.
- Material: High-definition cast resin components supplemented with photo-etched (PE) metal details. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
What is Included
This detail set is engineered to completely replace the lower-detail plastic parts provided in the stock Hasegawa kit, featuring:
- A highly detailed main cockpit tub.
- A realistic ejection seat with intricate molded texture.
- Photo-etched metal seatbelts, harness buckles, and pull handles.
- Side consoles and instrument panels displaying crisp, raised knob, switch, and dial details.
- Accurately scaled cockpit sidewalls and rear bulkhead pieces. [1, 2, 3]
Assembly Tips
- Preparation: Use a razor saw to carefully separate the resin parts from their casting blocks. Wear a dust mask, as breathing resin dust is hazardous. [1]
- Modification Required: Standard for Aires sets, you will need to sand or grind down the interior plastic locator tabs and thinning the fuselage walls of the Hasegawa kit to ensure the wider resin tub fits seamlessly. [1]
- Adhesive: Regular plastic cement will not work on these materials. You must use cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) or epoxy to bond resin to resin and resin to plastic. [1]
Where to Buy
This accessory set can be sourced from various online hobby retailers and aftermarket specialists, including Sprue Brothers Models, BNA Model World, and global scale modeling vendors on platforms like eBay. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
