Well, this is my 95% rendition of the Aires cockpit set for the RoG 1/32 Stuka kit. Just a couple more finishing touches and it'll be ready to button up. One question to all, is the RoG kit just a re-boxed and marketed Hasegawa kit? The Aires set is originally for the Hasegawa kit but fits like a glove. I thought I'd read something to that effect somewhere but apparently I'm suffering from an acute case of "Old-timers" disease. More later.

Thanks Tom, I appreciate the kind words. This Aires set is awesome! I have to admit, the radios though are from my Bf 109E Eduard PE set. I'm not a radio expert but I think they utilized the same basic equipment and the radio faces matched well.
