Colored Quinta interior elements produced by 3D printing for a P-38F Lightning model in 1:48 scale, prepared for the Hasegawa kit. They are soaked briefly in lukewarm water; a softener does not belong on them.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is an American twin-engined fighter with an unusual layout: the tail surfaces are carried by a pair of booms and the pilot sits alone in the central nacelle between them. The P-38F version is one of the early production forms. It is precisely because the central nacelle is short that the cockpit is visible from most angles, and an empty interior gives a finished model away.
Colored interior elements produced by 3D printing, that is with a raised surface and not with mere printing. The instruments and controls therefore have real relief and shadow. The elements are printed on backing decal paper, from which they slide off once soaked. The part is cut from the sheet, soaked for about fifteen seconds in lukewarm water and slid off the paper into place; it has no adhesive layer of its own and a softener does not belong on it. The set is shaped for the Hasegawa kit in 1:48 scale.
Fit the interior before you close up the central nacelle; later you will no longer reach it. Rid the area under an element of flash and of molded detail that would make a bump beneath it, paint the base in a dark shade and go over it with a gloss clear coat, on which an element holds best. Cut the element out with a sharp blade, try its seating dry first and only then soak it, slide it off the paper and press it down with the blunt tip of a toothpick from the center toward the edges. Do not use decal softener; the chemicals would damage the printed resin.
The set suits modelers who do not want to paint tiny instruments with a brush and still want a legible cockpit. What is sold are the interior elements; the kit, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
