About product

Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress 3D Color Cockpit Decals 1:48 (Kits-World)

A set of relief color decals for the cockpit of the last mass-produced version of the B-17 in 1:48 scale. The printed panels have a thickness of their own, so once stuck down they do not read as a picture but as a fitted instrument panel. The accessory is intended for a plastic model and is fitted before the fuselage is closed, while the cockpit is still accessible.

The real subject

The B-17G is the most numerously built version of the American four-engine Boeing B-17 bomber, used in the closing stage of the Second World War. It differs from the earlier configurations mainly in its defensive armament, but the flight deck remains characteristic for its large glazing and its extensive instrumentation for four engines. The interior is therefore easy to see on a finished model.

How the set is applied

A relief decal differs from a flat one in having a thickness of its own. The base therefore has to be smooth and gloss, otherwise air will be trapped under the decal and the surface will silver. Cut the decal as close as you can, release it in lukewarm water and seat it on its target surface without needless sliding. Apply the softener drop by drop along the edges and let it work by itself, leaving the decal undisturbed for at least 45 minutes; do not run a brush over the relief, or the raised details will be squashed or torn off. When it is dry, go over the surroundings with matte varnish and leave the dials themselves gloss, so that they read as glass.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the B-17G in 1:48 scale who want a well-drawn cockpit.
  • Those looking for a faster route to detail than photo-etched sets.
  • Builders who do not get on with hand painting small dials.
  • Collectors of bombers, where the interior shows through the large glazing.

This is an accessory for building a model, not a kit. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Ideally before you close the fuselage. On a finished model the cockpit is hard to reach and the decal is difficult to settle in it.

The set is intended for the particular B-17G version. Go by the exact version designation in the name.

Yes, we recommend it. On a gloss base the decal seats without air bubbles and does not silver.

Go over the surroundings with matte varnish but leave the dials themselves gloss. Apply it thinly and let it dry, so that the relief is not filled in.
