A quarter-scale cockpit stays on show, and 1:48 helicopter instrument panels are the quickest route to making it convincing. Pre-coloured layered panels with relief dials cover the W-3 Sokol in several services, the Mi-24D and machines of the Black Hawk family. Each panel is shaped for one specific kit, so check the intended moulding in the product title before you order.
Quarter scale suits cockpit detailing: dials read with the naked eye and stay visible behind the glazing of 1:48 helicopter kits. Add harnesses and consoles from 1:48 helicopter photo-etch, and see the group as a whole in helicopter instrument panels. Fit the panel before the fuselage halves go together.
