Responsibility details are not available.
A set of colored decals for the interior of the bomber and reconnaissance versions of the de Havilland Mosquito in 1:48 scale. The instruments, the lettering and the colored areas are printed from manufacture. It is an accessory to a kit, not a model — do not look for plastic parts or glue in the package. The target kit is Tamiya.
The key step is the one that is easily skimped: the intermediate varnish. Paint the cockpit in the base shade, let the paint cure thoroughly and brush a thin layer of gloss varnish over it. A matte coat has a rough surface full of microscopic cavities in which air gets stuck under the decal — the result is a white haze around the edges, which cannot be put right afterward. A gloss layer seals the surface and the print adheres to it over its whole area. Once the decals are dry comes the opposite step: a matte or semi-gloss overcoat, which unifies the gloss of the whole compartment and at the same time protects the print during further operations. Without it, glossy spots in the cockpit would give away where the decals end.
The cockpit of the Mosquito is clearly visible when the entry is open, so care pays off. Release the elements after about fifteen seconds in lukewarm water, fine-tune them with a damp brush and blot the excess water with a cotton swab laid against them from the side. Do not use a decal softener or a decal fixer, as their chemicals attack the printed resin and ruin the element.
Paints and varnishes are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
