1:20/1:24 Push buttons (type 03)

Push buttons for an interior, type 03 (Decalcas)

A set of tiny push buttons for the interiors of models in 1:20 and 1:24 scale. Type 03 is one of several shapes the manufacturer offers in this range, so you can choose according to how the controls look on a particular car. It is not a kit but a detail accessory for the build.

Where the buttons come in

• The instrument panel and center console of a racing car
• The cockpit of a Formula car and a sports prototype
• The console in a competition special with system controls
• A replacement for flat molded suggestions from a kit
• Completing a pit scene and a workshop diorama

Building and painting tips

Wash the surface of the parts in lukewarm water with dish soap and let them dry. Cut them off with a fresh blade on a hard surface and work over a box. They are glued with super glue dosed with a pin; an ordinary drop is too much for a part this small. Painting is easier while they are still on the casting block: the body in a dark color, the head in color. In 1:24 scale it is enough to suggest the shape; in 1:20 the color differences between individual buttons already show.

Who the set is for

• Builders of racing cars in 1:20 and 1:24 scale
• Modelers working interiors up
• Anyone after small details that raise credibility
• More experienced builders used to working with small parts
• Makers of dioramas set in racing pits

The set is supplied on its own; a model and paints are not included in the package.
