1:72 Bf-109 F-2/F-4 - interior 3D decals for Eduard kit

Color interior for the Bf 109 F-2 and F-4 in 1:72 scale

A set of color three-dimensional Kelik elements for the cockpit interior of a Bf 109 F-2 and F-4 model in 1:72 scale, intended according to the name for the Eduard kit. The elements carry their own color as well as a raised relief, so the instrument panel and the side walls gain detail that would otherwise have to be painted laboriously.

The real subject

The F version, known among modelers as the Friedrich, is usually held to be the cleanest rendering of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 in shape: it received rounded wingtips and a reworked nose. The F-2 and F-4 renderings differed from each other in armament. The cockpit stayed cramped in this series too, and in 1:72 scale what will mostly be visible once the model is finished is the instrument panel.

How to work with the elements

• Before applying them, check in the instructions how the elements are attached; the application procedure differs between the individual Kelik lines and the manufacturer's instructions are what decides.
• Transfer the element with tweezers and press it down with a cotton swab from the center toward the edges so that no air is trapped beneath it.
• Degrease the base beforehand, as the element will not hold on a greasy surface.
• Sand the raised instruments on the kit part flat.
• Apply the set before you glue the fuselage halves together and fit the glazing.

Who the set is for

For modelers who build the Bf 109 in a small scale and do not want to paint tiny dials with a brush. The extent of the set and the recommended procedure are given by the manufacturer in the instructions. The package contains the interior elements only; the model, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
