1:32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VIII is a 3D-printed and already colored cockpit instrument panel on decal paper from Red Fox Studio. It is not a model of the aircraft but an accessory for the cockpit of a kit in 1:32 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set brings the instrument panel and the adjoining details of the cockpit of the British fighter aircraft, printed in 3D and supplied already in color. The carrier is decal paper, so the parts are transferred into place like a decal and are not glued on like a resin casting. It is an accessory for a kit in 1:32 scale, not a model in its own right; the base kit has to be had.
The Spitfire had a cockpit built around a tubular structure and purely analog instrument equipment. The center of the panel is taken up by the group of instruments for flying without visibility, around it lie the engine dials, and on the left side console are the throttle and the trim wheels. The control column ends in the typical arched grip, and the gunsight sits above the panel on the pilot's axis. The Mk.VIII is a late version with a two-stage supercharged engine, and because the layout of the panel changed with the engine and the equipment, the Mk.VIII panel is not interchangeable with an early Mk.I or Mk.V. In 1:32 the whole cockpit is visible once the canopy is slid back, so the panel forms the visual center of a model.
The procedure corresponds to a quality decal: the piece is trimmed as closely as possible with a sharp blade, the surface is left smooth and glossy and the panel is settled into position while it is still movable. The relief is printed, so do not press it with a hard tool and leave out aggressive softeners, which could flatten the raised structure. The raised bezels of the faces usually have to be sanded off the plastic panel from the kit, so that the accessory sits on a flat surface. The panel does not have to be painted; it is only worth fixing it with a varnish in the degree of gloss the surrounding cockpit has.
The accessory is supplied without a kit, paints and glue. Before buying, check that the set matches your particular kit in 1:32 scale.
