[1] Pilot’s Seat with Harness – ready to paint straight away

The pilot’s seat is one of the most visible elements of the cockpit, so we refined it thoroughly:

• very thin, sharp edges,
• harness straps sculpted as an integral detail,
• shape fully based on documentation.
• No need to struggle with photo-etched belts — just wash, prime and paint.

[2] Wing Landing Lights – sharper detail and easier painting

Plastic landing lights always involve compromises. In the 3D version:

• the edges are sharp and clean,
• the well shows subtle framework and rivet detail,
• a three-arm bulb bracket is reproduced on the front face.
• This part represents the original much more accurately.

[3] Exhaust Stacks – open ends and full geometry

The 3D-printed exhausts offer what cannot be achieved in plastic:

• factory-opened exhaust ends,
• bulged panel-joint lines on the manifold,
• smooth, natural transitions and curvature.
• A small upgrade with a big visual impact.

[4] Landing Gear Locking Stirrup – the characteristic undercarriage latch

On Hurricanes, when the landing gear retracted, the wheels were held in place by a small, clever stirrup-shaped latch. In plastic it would be far too fragile, so we created a 3D-printed version.

Installation is simple:

• cut off the small axle stub from the wheel hub, drill one hole, and that’s it.
• This part is:
• small, but easy to hold with tweezers,
• faithful to the original shape,
• quick and safe to install.
