About product

Griffon-Engined Spitfire Mk.XIV and Mk.XVIII 3D Color Instrument Panels 1:48 (Kits-World)

Color decals with a raised relief for the instrument panel of the late Spitfires powered by the Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, 1:48 scale. The set is applied as a decal and gives the cockpit both color and depth without painting the individual instruments. It is an accessory for a plastic model.

The real subject

The Mk.XIV and Mk.XVIII versions belong to the late configurations of the British single-seat Supermarine Spitfire fighter. Compared with the earlier Merlin-engined machines they received the more powerful and longer Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, which showed in a longer nose, a five-blade propeller and an enlarged vertical tail surface. The cockpit stayed tight, which makes the instrument panel in it markedly exposed.

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 Spitfire Mk.XIV or Mk.XVIII in 1:48 scale.
  • Those who want a legible instrument panel in a tight cockpit.
  • Builders who want to avoid working with photo-etch.
  • Collectors of the late Griffon-engined Spitfire versions.

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

We do not recommend it. The set is listed for the late Griffon-engined versions; the manufacturer makes other sets for the earlier configurations.

According to the name it is intended for both the Mk.XIV and the Mk.XVIII. How the panels are divided between the two versions is given by the maker of the set.

Once it is dry, put a drop of gloss varnish or clear gel on each dial and leave the surroundings matte.

Trim it with a sharp scalpel before you release it from the backing, and dry-fit it before sticking it down.
