This new release from airscale gives you a vast selection of individual instruments for Early Soviet Jets.  These are stunning representations of real aircraft instruments in 1/32 fine scale to enable you to upgrade kit instrument panels, or for use when scratchbuilding an authentic, scale alternative.

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.

This decal sheet is also available in 1/48 scale.

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: 

  • Full colour cockpit instrumentation common to most early Soviet jet fighter types including MiG 15, MiG 17, MiG 19, MiG 21, Su 7 and early Yak’s
  • 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)

With all the larger scale kits being released, it is good to see these new decals being released.  airscale also has an ever growing selection of instrument panel decals and cockpit placards if you decide you don't want to use the individual instrument decals provided in this set.  Also included in this set is a gloss plastic sheet 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.
