1:12 Toggle switch with guard from Decalcas is a miniature toggle switch with a hinged protective guard, meant for the dashboards and control panels of models in 1:12 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Toggle switch with guard accessory offers a control of the kind that sits on the dashboard or on a panel of a sports car. It is not a kit and not a body part, but a small piece of cockpit equipment fitted into a model under construction. The lever comes with a hinged stirrup, so the switch looks like one guarded against being thrown by accident.
In a machine that shakes over bumps and where the crew moves in a cramped space, there is a risk that the lever gets thrown by a chance touch of a sleeve or a helmet. On electrical circuits that must not be cut or closed by mistake, a guard is therefore folded down over the lever. A modeler who repeats such an item on a panel gives the cockpit a competition character at once, because a smooth panel without guarded controls looks like one from a civilian car.
Pre-drill the hole in the panel and only slide the part in at first, to check that it stands square to the surface. The guard stands out when you set it apart in shade from the lever itself, and a lighter metallic tone against a dark panel does more than the finest line. The area around the switch takes a light darkening so the item does not look stuck onto a clean background. In 1:12 scale the cockpit reads well in a display case, so it is worth laying out the controls from photographs of the car you are building.
