The set comes with photo etched parts and decals, same as the V.1
The set comes with adapter that can be glued to the back of the clear insert in order to be able to use the stock LED light board.
Please note the clear insert is thinner than it is on the V.1 cockpit set, thus making it harder to light up the sidewalls as bright as the back wall lights up. In order to help with this issue, the outer wall of the insert has grooves to reflect the light coming from the back, the same way an LCD screen backlight works.
