Be aware the cockpit detail is rather simplified (not all that much better than the kit) compared to Aires or other top-notch AM resin cockpits. The WAR HUD for the Block 40 cockpit is way under-scaled as well; closer to 72nd. WP failed to extend the forward lip of the glare shield. The pour cast from the bottom of the cockpit will result in a lot more time and care to remove the pour stub, in order to properly fit the resin cockpit into the lower forward kit fuselage. They did a decent job with the seat though.

Im actually working on one of the tamilya kits now..... the kit quality is amazing,.. and really you can get by with just an Eduard photoetch interior set...... I have always found the TAm f-16 kits some of the best in the biz

Yes, the kit cockpit is quite detailed and accurate OOTB. My main peave in the split right down the middle of the HUD ICP panel. The ICP Panel should have been a separate part. I found the Eduard PE set to be not so usefull overall cockpit wise, other than the seat belts. The color PE was worse, as the consoles are just not as good as the 3D detail of the kit parts. The printed gauge details for teh IP were over scaled and not all that realistic. I'd like to use the WP seat as a stand alone item, rather than the whole set. It should be noted that the Cross Delta beef up plating and metal pitot probe are quite nice and useful items.
