LööK set – painted resin instrument panel and steel belts

LööK is a Brassin-line set combining two ready elements that raise cockpit realism: a colour resin instrument panel with full depth and legible gauges, and colour steel seatbelts. Both elements are factory-painted and practically ready to fit.

The resin instrument panel is fitted in place of the plastic part, and the steel belts — thin and easy to shape — are secured to the seat with cyanoacrylate adhesive. It is a quick way to achieve a striking, refined interior without labour-intensive painting.

About the aircraft – Handley Page Hampden:

The Handley Page Hampden was a British twin-engine medium bomber of the early Second World War period. Because of its narrow, deep fuselage and long, slender rear section it earned the nicknames "Flying Suitcase" and "Tadpole". Together with the Wellington and the Whitley it formed the backbone of Bomber Command in the first years of the war.

Hampdens took part in night raids against targets in Germany and in laying sea mines. The TB Mk.I torpedo variant was adapted to carry an aerial torpedo and served with Coastal Command against enemy shipping, including in the demanding conditions of flights over the North Sea and Arctic waters.
