I would like to "recycle" my old Tamiya kit in an aircraft "probably" flown by Toshio Ota from Tainan Kokutai, 2nd Chutai during summer 1942.
Not a big problem to engrave panel lines on the fuselage, but I think the cockpit is very poorly detailled...
I looked for some photo-etched or resin cockpit for this kit but I found anything :(
Anybody to tell me how to improve this poor cockpit please ? Just a precision, I'm not a big fan of "scratch-building" :p

TIA

I haven't seen these details for the Tamiya kit. However there are accessories for the Hasgawa one. I would say it shouldn't be difficult to fit them to the Tamiya kit.

Thank you Wojtek, I know these items. I found also Aires resin cockpit or True Details or CMK for Hasegawa kits but not sure about the fitting in the Tamiya kit
