Eduard 1/48 Heinkel 280 V3
Profipack Kit 8049

The completed cockpit.  The resin seat is a detailed casting but has roughness in some areas.  It was the first ejection seat used in emergency conditions when one
of the He-280's iced up, left controlled flight, and the pilot ejected.  The seat was powered by compressed air.  The instrument panel is a sandwich of PE and instrument
faces on acetate sheet.  I followed the instructions and painted the panel RLM 02 but wonder if it should be actually be RLM 66.  I used some newer Eduard pre-painted seat belts.
