About product

The Emil cockpit in relief

The pilot's workplace in this type was cramped and rawly functional. On the left the hand fell on the throttle lever, in the middle stood the KG 13 control stick with the trigger buttons on its grip, and above the main panel sat the Revi reflector gunsight. Almost nothing covers the space around the seat, so once the model is finished every lever and every dial stays in view.

How this technology works

Instead of the usual flat metal plates you get thin printed elements that are built up in layers and have real three-dimensional depth. The dials stand out above the surrounding surface, the controls cast their own shadow and the colors follow the wartime specifications. Only the backing paper is moistened, the film is lifted off with tweezers and fixed with PVA glue (white glue), so there is no bending or gluing of metal.

What the envelope contains

  • relief print of the main panel and the side consoles
  • photo-etched steel harness for the pilot
  • coverage of both the E-4 and the E-7 version in 1:48
  • instructions with the exact placement of the individual elements

The surface underneath must be smooth and glossy, otherwise air will be trapped under the edge and a whitish veil will appear around it. Do not use a decal softener: the chemicals attack the printed resin and ruin the element. Leave the finished part to dry overnight and only then handle it further, because a damp layer moves or tears easily. Wipe any remains of the PVA glue from around it with a cotton swab moistened in clean water, otherwise they would later show through under a matte clear coat.

FAQ

The print is lifted with tweezers off the moistened paper and has three-dimensional depth of its own, so there is no bending and gluing of metal plates.

It is not necessary. If you want to even out the surface, use a matte varnish in a fine mist only after it has dried completely.

Yes, the pilot's harness is photo-etched steel and is glued separately with super glue.
