Relief decals for the cockpit of the reconnaissance version of the Mosquito designated PR.XVI, 1:72 scale. They bring legible instruments, consoles and harness straps into a space barely two and a half centimeters long. Intended for the kit from Airfix.
Responsibility details are not available.
Wood was regarded during the war as a material for amateurs, and yet one of the fastest aircraft of its day was made from it. The reconnaissance version designated with the Roman numeral sixteen was given a pressurized cabin and worked at altitudes most opponents could not reach. It carried no defensive armament, because its only defense was speed and ceiling. It came back with photographs of targets which then settled where the bomber formations would fly.
A span of over sixteen meters gives a model roughly twenty-three centimeters wide at this reduction, and the cockpit shrinks to a mere twenty-five millimeters. In such a situation the dial of an instrument is about 0.3 mm across. No brush makes a mark like that and not even the finest mask has any business there. This is exactly the point at which a printed layered part is not a convenience of the build but the only workable way to keep the cockpit from looking like an empty hole once the canopy is closed.
Work with sharp tweezers and over a mat from which a small part can be lifted. Fingers no longer fit here and a dropped piece of this size is usually lost for good on a carpet. A magnifier or magnifying glasses are a good idea.
These are decals only; neither the model of the aircraft nor paints are in the package. It also pays to count on having the inside of the cockpit sprayed and dry before you seat anything on it.
