I checked the Sprue brothers site figuring that Aires would be your best bet, but they only make one for the Hasegawa, Academy, & Hobby Boss kits. The fujimi kit is rather old, and I guess they figure that it just doesn't pay to make one.

I don't think any AM Company has made a cockpit for the Fujimi 1/48th F-14. Besides being too old, another reason is that it's unpopular due to the major shape and detail inaccuracies it's plagued with.

All you can do is try to fit in another AM cockpit, though I certainly would not burn a perfectly good Aires or Black F-14 cockpit on a Fujimi kit. I highly suggest picking up the True Details F-14 cockpit. It's cheap and if the project ends up a total bust, you're only out a cheap TD F-14 pit and a Fujimi kit that's easily written off,

Kit was $5 at a show, all sealed, but am still cutting my teeth on wings so figured a better cockpit might help things out and give me the experience I am looking for. Will look for the true details set. Cheers guys.
