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

The colored interior of the Bf 109 G-2 and G-4 in 1:72 scale

A set of colored three-dimensional elements from Kelik for the cockpit interior of a model of the Bf 109 G-2 and G-4 in 1:72 scale, by its name prepared for the Eduard kit. The elements carry the color as well as the modeled relief of the instruments, so the slow painting of dials and side panels falls away.

The real subject

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was one of the most numerous German fighter aircraft of the Second World War. The G-2 and G-4 forms stand at the beginning of the G series, the version flown from Russia to the Mediterranean. The cockpit is cramped and in 1:72 scale you will mainly see the instrument panel and the upper part of the side walls through the glazing, and that is exactly where the set shows most.

How to work with the elements

• Before applying them, check in the instructions how the elements are attached; the way they are applied differs between the individual Kelik lines and the maker's instructions decide.
• The base has to be flat, clean and degreased, or the element will not settle into the corners.
• Sand the molded instruments on the part from the kit down, so that the element lies flat.
• Move the elements with soft-tipped tweezers and press them down with a cotton bud from the center to the edges.
• Finish the interior before you glue the fuselage halves together.

Who the set is for

For builders of German fighters in the small scales who want the cockpit finished quickly and cleanly. The maker states the scope of the set and the exact procedure in the instructions. The package holds the interior elements only; the model, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
