This
new release from
airscale gives you a vast selection of individual instruments
for USAAF Aircraft. 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.

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 P38 Lightning, P40 Warhawk, P47 Thunderbolt, P51 Mustang and common to most USAAF fighter types
-
Individual Instruments that are separate on the decal sheet with a minimum of carrier film
-
Available in 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)
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 if you decide you don't want to use the individual instrument
decals provided in this set. The this 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.
