2 tbolt cockpits
« on: 15 October 2011, 09:34:36 »
Hey all, I am TRYING to help a buddy assemble his thunderbolt. I couldn't help but notice that there are two head assembly's in the container. Is there a difference between the two?

If you look carefully, one of them actually has rollbars protecting the cockpit from unintentional impacts, as seen with the art for the Thunderbolt 7SE, 10SE, and 9NAIS, and 9M. The other doesn't, and I think the naked head is just for variety. Otherwise, no real difference.

If you use the big head on the Thunderbolt, you can use the small one for the Arctic Wolf, which will improve the mini tremendously.
