Cockpit set and Seats for aircraft model Su-34 (for Kitty Hawk, HobbyBoss) Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR4836

Metallic Details MDR4836 is a cockpit-focused upgrade for the Sukhoi Su-34 in 1/48, recommended for Kitty Hawk and HobbyBoss kits. The set combines resin parts with photo-etched details to refine cockpit structure and seats where surface texture, edges, and small fittings are most visible under the canopy.

The Su-34 has a large glazed cockpit area with side-by-side seating, so the interior remains a prominent feature even on a finished model. This set is intended to improve the “depth and sharpness” of the cockpit and seating area without changing the overall airframe assembly.

For modelers: treat the cockpit as a test-fit project. Dry-fit the resin cockpit parts inside the fuselage halves early and check canopy clearance before committing glue. For photo-etch, plan which parts replace molded detail and remove raised features gradually. Paint the cockpit subassemblies first, then add the smallest photo-etched items and seat details near the end to avoid damage during masking and handling.

FAQ

Is this set compatible with both Kitty Hawk and HobbyBoss 1/48 kits?

It is recommended for Kitty Hawk and HobbyBoss. Dry-fit resin parts against your kit’s cockpit opening and fuselage halves before final assembly, as tooling differences can affect fit.

Do I need to remove kit detail before using photo-etched parts?

Often yes. Compare the kit parts to the photo-etched overlays and remove raised detail only where replacement parts will sit flat.

What is a practical install order for cockpit upgrades?

Test-fit and assemble the main resin cockpit structure first, paint it, then add photo-etched details and seats later to reduce handling damage and keep fine parts clean.
