About product

WWI airspeed indicator 1:48 (GasPatch models)

A detail set of a German First World War aircraft airspeed indicator in 1:48 scale from the Greek manufacturer GasPatch models. This is not an airplane model but a fine instrument accessory fitted to a biplane near the cockpit. The parts are cast in a special durable resin so that the thin sections do not break during fitting and painting.

The real subject

German First World War biplanes often measured speed with a windmill type indicator mounted on a strut or on the wing leading edge. The rotation of the vanes in the airstream drove the needle of the indicator, which the pilot watched directly from the cockpit. It is precisely these small instruments exposed to the airflow that lend a model authenticity.

Use and fitting

Wash the parts free of mold release agent, cut the casting gates off carefully and bond them with super glue. Given how fine they are, work with tweezers and a magnifier; apply a fine base before painting and use metal shades on the dial and the vanes.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of German First World War biplanes in 1:48
  • Modelers who want faithful instrument equipment
  • Advanced collectors with an emphasis on detail

The detail set does not hold an airplane model, glue or paints. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

FAQ

A German First World War aircraft airspeed indicator, that is a windmill type instrument mounted on the wing or a strut of a biplane.

It is not. It is a fine resin instrument accessory for more faithful detail on a biplane model.

The set is cast in a special, more durable resin so that the fine sections take fitting and painting better. Even so, work carefully with tweezers.
