1:48 P-51B late/P-51C Late 3D-Printed & coloured Interior on decal paper (Eduard)

P-51B/P-51C Mustang (late), interior 3D decal 1:48 (Quinta Studio)

Colored 3D-printed cockpit details for the American P-51B/P-51C Mustang fighter in its late form, in 1:48 scale from Quinta Studio. This is not an aircraft model but an upgrade accessory with which you can bring the interior of the plastic early Mustang kit (the framed canopy) from Eduard to life without laborious painting.

What it is and how it works

The details are 3D printed on thin decal backing paper, so they combine relief and color in one. The set normally contains the instrument panel, the side panels, the controls and the seat belts. They are applied as a wet decal directly onto the plastic cockpit parts and replace hand painting as well as photo-etched sets.

Use

• Made for the P-51B/C kit in 1:48 (Eduard), the late form
• Cut the part out, soak it in lukewarm water for about 15 seconds and slide it off the backing paper
• Degrease the surface and coat it with gloss varnish (Future/Klear, Tamiya X-22); a matte base is a mistake
• Do not use a decal softener or a decal fixer, the manufacturer forbids them because they attack the printed resin; in broken-up places a drop of super glue helps

Who the set is for

• Builders of American Second World War fighters in 1:48 scale
• Modelers who want a detailed cockpit without lengthy painting
• Anyone who wants to raise the realism of the interior quickly

This is not a standalone model. The set is an accessory for a particular kit; the model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
