1:72 Su-33 3D-Printed & coloured Interior on decal paper (Zvezda)

Full-color 3D interior Su-33 1:72 (Quinta Studio)

The set brings a complete full-color cockpit printed by 3D printing on decal paper. It is applied much like classic decals, but thanks to its relief structure it carries three-dimensional detail: recessed instrument dials, raised bezels, switches, levers, grab handles and seat belts. This is not a kit but an accessory meant to detail a model of the Su-33 carrier fighter in 1:72 scale considerably. It is based on the dimensions of the Zvezda kit.

The real subject

The Su-33 is a Russian carrier fighter derived from the Su-27 Flanker family and adapted for operation from an aircraft carrier. It is marked by folding wings, a forward horizontal surface (canards) and strengthened landing gear with an arrestor hook. It is intended to defend the airspace around a naval formation and is one of the large twin-engined fighters.

Use and tips

The full-color printing does away with the need to paint the small instruments and the seat belts, which you will appreciate especially in 1:72 scale. The parts are taken from the sheet, applied to the instrument panel, the side consoles and the seat and pressed gently into shape before the fuselage is closed up. We recommend a smooth surface and, if you wish, fixing with matte varnish. Do not use a decal softener or setting solution: they would damage this resin print.

Who the set is for

• modelers who want a faithful cockpit without painting the instruments
• builders of the Su-33 carrier fighter in 1:72 scale
• the moderately advanced as well as the experienced - at a small scale it calls for care
• collectors of modern Russian carrier-borne aircraft

This is an accessory, not a complete model. The basic Zvezda kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
