1:32 A-4E/F SKYHAWK - interior 3D decals for Hasegawa kit

The interior of the Skyhawk in 1:32 scale

A set of color 3D elements from Kelik for the pilot space of the A-4 Skyhawk carrier attack aircraft in the E and F versions, in 1:32 scale. The elements are cut for the Hasegawa kit and cover the instrument panel, the side panels and the other small equipment of the cockpit.

What it brings to the model

The Skyhawk is a small single-seat machine with a delta wing, on which the cockpit sits high and the whole space can be seen into under the canopy slid back. In 1:32 scale hand-painted dials are hard to defend: the elements carry legible instruments, lettering and panels distinguished in color, and their raised relief casts a shadow in side light, so the panel does not look like a painted flat area. The F version is told from the E version by the dorsal spine with equipment behind the cockpit; the set covers the interior of both.

Before applying them and while working

• The way they are applied differs from one range to another, so follow the instructions from the maker Kelik.
• Spray the cockpit parts first, let them cure and degrease them, otherwise the edge of an element will lift away in time.
• Apply the elements while the cockpit is freely accessible, that is before the fuselage is closed.
• Work with tweezers with a soft grip and press them down with a cotton bud from the center toward the edges.
• The assignment of the elements to the parts of the kit is given in the maker's instructions.

Who the set is for

For builders of the Skyhawk in 1:32 scale from the Hasegawa kit who want a finished cockpit without painting under a magnifier. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package unless stated otherwise.
