In typical Eduard style, they're released a range of cockpit overhauls, from the complete 3D printed "office" (F4F-3 cockpit w/ reflector gun sight PRINT | AeroScale), the simpler SPACE set (F4F-3 late SPACE | AeroScale), and this LööK set - the simplest of the lot, and ideal for anyone wanting to give a worthwhile boost to their Wildcat without going too far.
The set arrives in a neat flip-top box with the parts safely sealed in zip-lock bags. It comprises a pre-coloured instrument panel, a 3D printed forward frame and fuel tank (identical to the part in the full cockpit set), and a pre-coloured seat harness.
The detail is excellent, with the panel looking very sharp to the naked eye. As usual, the extreme close-up photo doesn't do it any favours, highlighting a speckled effect in the printing, but it's actually massively finer than you could hope to paint by hand and will really bring the cockpit to life. It will be simplicity itself to install - actually involving less work than the parts in the standard kit.
The forward frame is a big improvement over the kit part, so the set is worth considering as an upgrade if you have the Profi-PACK Wildcat. The seatbelts are the same as the Profi-PACK ones, though, so the LööK pack probably makes most sense as a boost for a Weekend Edition or to go with a set of Oversprues.
Eduard provide a neat sheet of instructions, but experienced modellers will hardly need them.
Conclusion
Eduard's LööK set is a nice straightforward upgrade for their Wildcat and its simplicity would make it ideal for anyone wanting to try an aftermarket set for the first time.
