1:72 Douglas C-47 A 3D Full colour Instrument Panels (for Italeri kits)

3D full color instrument panel decals Douglas C-47A (1:72, Kits-World)

This set holds fully colored instrument panels and consoles of the flight deck of the Douglas C-47A military transport in 1:72 scale. Instead of ordinary marking decals these are micro-printed 3D decals with relief: the color artwork on a flexible film gives the instruments a three-dimensional, easily legible appearance. The layout of the panels is matched to one particular flight deck arrangement so that the parts fit exactly.

The real subject

The Douglas C-47A is the military transport version of the proven twin-engined aircraft derived from the civil DC-3. All over the world it carried troops, supplies and paratroopers, towed gliders and ranked among the most reliable transport aircraft of the Second World War and of the postwar era.

Use and tips

The decals are applied with the wet technique: cut the part out, dip it briefly in water and transfer it to the instrument panel or the side consoles. A matte base is recommended, along with settling by softener and complete drying; once the part is down, do not move it and give it at least 45 minutes.

Who the set is for

• builders of transport aircraft in 1:72 scale
• modelers who want a fast and colorful flight deck interior
• anyone who dislikes painting tiny dials by hand

This is an accessory for detailing the flight deck, not an aircraft model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
