This
new release from
airscale
gives you a vast selection of individual instruments for USAAF Aircraft.
These are stunning representations of real aircraft instruments in 1/48 fine
scale to enable you to upgrade kit instrument panels, or for use when
scratchbuilding an authentic, scale alternative.
The decal sheet above is the
1/32nd version of this decal sheet and the dotted lines on the photo above are
there to protect the decal artwork and are not what you will see on the actual
decal sheet.

It is good to see these new
decals being released and I'm impressed by the vast selection of decals
contained on this decal sheet. airscale
also has an ever growing selection of instrument
panel decals if you decide you don't want to use the individual instrument
decals provided in this set. The this gloss plastic sheet will give your
instruments the prefect look of real glass.
I would like to thank airscale
for providing me with this
review sample.
You can buy these and other
individual instrument and instrument panel decals and cockpit placards directly
from the airscale
website.
