I thought I'd start off with the big Kahuna for the first of the new Pavla releases. This is a complete cockpit set for the pilot and the navigator for the recent Airfix 1/48 Canberra PR.9. The molding is superlative as you can see. You get both cockpits on a single piece with the navigator side walls a extra pieces. To see all this, you need to cut the upper hatch from the Airfix kit, but no worries as Pavla provides a replacement. You also get a new nose cone as this can be posed open to better see what's in there. The pilot and navigator have different bang seats and this is faithfully replicated in the Pavla set. Full assembly and painting guide is provided by Pavla. A great update set and one that will add that much more to your Canberra build.
