1:48 Messerschmitt Me 262B-1a is a colored 3D textured print of the two-seat cockpit from Red Fox Studio on decal paper. A cockpit accessory, not a kit. Cut for the Hobby Boss kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
Red Fox Studio prints the instrument panels and cockpit details in color and with a 3D texture onto decal paper. The set replaces the smooth plastic panels from the kit; it is applied by soaking and positioning, not by gluing. The set is cut for the Hobby Boss kit.
The B-1a version is a two-seat trainer conversion and its inside differs fundamentally from the single-seat machine. The second station was created in the space behind the pilot, so the cockpit is suddenly long and the canopy forms an elongated glazed tunnel with prominent frames. The front panel stays the pilot's and full of analog instruments; the rear station is simpler and laid out differently, because the instructor does not need the whole range of instruments. For the modeler that means two different panels, not the same one twice — and because the glazing is long, both can be seen even once the cockpit is closed. Early jet machines also have a visually simple cockpit, so every empty area inside stands out.
A photo-etched set for a two-seat cockpit means a double build and on top of that all the painting of the scales. A decal supplied with a kit usually deals only with the front panel. Hand painting two panels full of gauges in 1:48 is long work in which it is hard to keep the same quality in both places. A color print with a three-dimensional structure gives legible instruments at both stations at once. The base has to be smooth, matte and degreased; settle the print with a decal softener and let it dry out before you close the cockpit.
This is a cockpit accessory, not a kit. The kit, paints, decal softener and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
