1:48 F-5N INTERIOR 3D DECALS FOR AFV CLUB KIT

F-5N interior 3D decals 1:48

A set of interior decals from the maker Kelik for a model of the Northrop F-5N Tiger II light supersonic fighter in 1:48 scale. The name gives them as 3D decals for the interior. It is not a kit, but an accessory that makes rendering the instrument panel and the consoles in the cockpit simpler. The full contents of the set are stated on the box.

The real subject

The F-5N is the single-seat version of the Tiger II operated by the US Navy and the US Marine Corps in the so-called aggressor role, that is as a machine that acts out the behavior of an opponent in training. The aircraft is powered by a pair of small turbojet engines, which make it agile, cheap to run and undemanding to maintain. That is exactly why it has held this role for decades and carries conspicuous camouflage schemes imitating foreign equipment. The basis of the design reaches back to the family of light fighters that Northrop supplied to a number of countries around the world.

Usage tips

• Finish the interior and let it dry through, and only then do the decals come into play.
• Get the dust and grease off the base and leave it smooth.
• Work with tweezers and in good light, because the cockpit is small and broken up.
• Keep to the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the set.

Who the set is for

• Builders of light supersonic fighters in 1:48 scale.
• Modelers with an interest in American aggressor units.
• Collectors who finish a model with the cockpit open.
• Anyone for whom painting the small instruments by hand takes too much time.
