This
new release from
airscale gives you a vast selection of individual instruments for RAF
aircraft from 1939 –
1945. These are stunning
representations of real aircraft instruments in 1/48 fine
scale to enable you to upgrade kit instrument panels, or for use when
scratchbuilding an authentic, scale alternative.
The image above is of the 1/24
decal sheet and the dotted lines on the photo
above are there to protect the decal artwork and are not what you will see on
the actual decal sheet. The 1/48 decal sheet has many more individual
decals than the 1/24 decal sheet example shown above.

The decals are
very clearly printed and in perfect register.
The 2 pages of
instructions are clear and include all necessary info about how and where to
install these individual instrument decals. You can also find photos on
the airscale
website of various instrument panels which will
assist you in finishing your instrument panel.
Each set
includes:
- Instrumentation as found in the Spitfire, Hurricane, Mosquito and common to most RAF types
- Available in 1:24, 1:32 and 1:48 scale - 1:48 are bumper quad size sets
- Instruments for flight control, navigation, engine, oxygen and ancillary management
- Sheet of optically clear replacement simulated instrument glass
- Fully illustrated instructions
Airscale instrument decals can be
used either;
- Behind kit instrument panel
parts, mounted on a backplate
- Applied on top of a kit panel.
(Decal setting solutions may be required)
It is good to see these new
decals being released and I was quite in awe by the huge number of individual
decals contained on this one decal sheet. airscale
also has an ever growing selection of instrument
panel decals if you decide you don't want to use the individual instrument
decals provided in this set. The gloss plastic sheet that is included will
give your instruments the prefect look of real glass.
I would like to thank airscale
for providing me with this
review sample.
You can buy these and other
individual instrument and instrument panel decals and cockpit placards directly
from the airscale
website.
