First look on Legend Productions cockpit resin set for Academy Tomahawk IIb.
This will be my first time on trying out aftermarket parts, so bear with me if I did many grave mistakes with it.

Got rid some of the flashes.

I was confused as on how to apply the resin parts and which part should I cut, especially the cockpit rear part since the wall doesn't seem to fit all the way in

The canopy is damaged from the box as it came off from the sprue. Thankfully it is the part where it will be painted of later.

I had to redo again as the mask are too heavy and thick.

(I admit my fault on chipping the propeller blade in the wrong direction, but I'll just ignore this)

Preparation for setting up the decals.
![Album image #41 Album image #41](/albums/img/6/3/8/1648638-133058-60-720.jpg)
Decals provided are simple crossdelta decals. In my taste, it's a bit glossy, bit thick, and bit oversized than what is referred in the instruction. I'd say 95% successful for setting it all up.
