1:48 Su-57 3D-Printed & coloured Interior on decal paper (for Zvezda kit)

Su-57 3D interior decal (1:48, Quinta Studio)

A relief, color-printed decal for the cockpit, not an aircraft model. The instrument panel with its large-area displays, the side consoles, the seat and the seat belts are printed with raised three-dimensional detail and with colors straight from the factory, so they replace painting as well as photo-etched parts. The set is shaped for the plastic Su-57 kit in 1:48 scale from Zvezda.

The real subject

The Sukhoi Su-57 (NATO reporting name Felon) is a Russian fifth-generation fighter with features of reduced radar observability (stealth). It is powered by two engines and its cockpit follows modern practice: instead of classic dials, large multifunction displays dominate. It is the newest Russian combat aircraft and, among modelers, a popular and attractive subject of contemporary military aviation.

Application

• First sand the plastic cockpit parts smooth, because the 3D decal goes straight onto them.
• Lift the element off the backing paper with tweezers (with some sets a brief dip helps) and lay it in place. Do not use a decal softener, because the printed resin would suffer from it.
• Press it down gently so that the relief settles onto the surface; work calmly, as the parts are small.
• The work suits more advanced modelers.

Who it is for

For modelers who build the Zvezda Su-57 in 1:48 scale and want a modern display cockpit faithfully and in color without laborious painting and photo-etch.

This is a 3D interior decal, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
