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 some instrument panels which will
assist you in finishing your instrument
panel.
Each set includes:
- Full colour cockpit
instrumentation common to most Allied early jet fighter types including the
F84, F86, F100, F104, F9F and in the UK; the Meteor, Vampire and Hunter
- Essential for cockpit
instrument panels, sidewalls, radios, throttle & flap quadrants and
ancillary management etc.
- Each instrument is separate on
the decal sheet with a minimum of carrier film
- Includes a small sheet of
optically clear replacement simulated instrument glass
- Available in 1:32 and 1:48
scale - 1:48 are bumper double size sets
- 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)
The dotted lines on the
photo below are there to protect the decal artwork and are not what you will see on
the actual decal sheet.
With the vast selection of Allied jets in
1/48 scale, it is good to see
these new decals being released. 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. There is also a gloss plastic sheet included
that 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.
