1:72 IK-3

Instrument panel Rogozarski IK-3 1:72 (Yahu Models)

A colored etched instrument panel for the cockpit of the Yugoslav fighter Rogozarski IK-3 in 1:72 scale from the manufacturer Yahu Models. It is not a model of an aircraft but a finished, pre-printed and painted accessory for the cockpit which replaces the plastic instrument panel in the base kit and raises the detail of the cabin.

The real subject

The Rogozarski IK-3 was a Yugoslav single-seat fighter monoplane of the late nineteen thirties and the modern successor of the older IK-2. It was powered by a liquid-cooled Hispano-Suiza 12Y V12 and its armament consisted of an engine-mounted 20 mm cannon firing through the propeller hub, completed by two machine guns. In performance it was comparable with contemporary European fighters. A small number of machines took part in the defense when Yugoslavia was attacked in the spring of 1941.

Use

• The panel is placed into the cockpit of the base IK-3 model
• It is pre-printed and colored, there is no need to paint it
• It brings higher detail of the dials and the lettering than a plastic part
• A quick rise in the realism of the cabin without photo-etch work and an airbrush

Who it is for

• Modelers of less usual aircraft in 1:72 scale
• Collectors of Yugoslav and Balkan fighters of the Second World War

This is a finished colored etched accessory for the cockpit, not a kit of an aircraft. The base model and glue are not included in the package.
