1:48 Henschel Hs-129 B - LööK Set for Takom

Henschel Hs 129B LööK set (1:48, Eduard, for Takom)

A cockpit detail accessory, not an aircraft model. This set from the LööK range combines a color instrument panel printed in relief (cast by the Brassin process) with photo-etched steel seat belts. It replaces the plastic panel of the German Henschel Hs 129B ground-attack aircraft and gives the cockpit an immediately striking, color-faithful look. The set is shaped for the Hs 129B kit in 1:48 scale by Takom. It is made by Eduard, the Czech maker from Obrnice near Most.

Fitting and use

• Check that your base kit is the Hs 129B in 1:48 scale by Takom.
• The color instrument panel only has to be seated; it is finished, so there is nothing to paint and no decal to apply.
• The steel belts are springy and hold their shape well; fix them into the seat with super glue.
• Wash the mold release agent off the resin parts and cut away the casting blocks; glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue).
• Finish the cockpit before the fuselage is closed up.

Who the set is for

For modelers building the Takom Hs 129B in 1:48 who want a quick and striking improvement to the cockpit without the laborious painting of an instrument panel.

The accessory is supplied as a set of parts; the plastic kit, paints and glue are not included in the package. Use a respirator and ventilate when sanding resin.
