Product Article by Steve Bamford on Aug 1 2011

 

This new release from airscale gives you a vast selection of scale individual Allied cockpit placards & dataplates.  These are stunning representations of real aircraft cockpit placards & dataplates in 1/48 fine scale to enable you to upgrade the kit cockpit with a much higher level of detail and accuracy.

The decal sheet above is the 1/24th 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.

The decals are very clearly printed and in perfect register.

The 2 pages of instructions are clear and include all necessary info about how and where to install these individual placards & dataplates decals.  

Each set includes: 

  • A huge selection of over 200 multi-colour placards & dataplates as found in RAF, USAAF, US Navy, US Marine Corps aircraft and common to most Allied aircraft types 
  • Each placard is individual and separate on the decal sheet with a minimum of carrier film 
  • Available in 1:24, 1:32 and 1:48 scale 
  • Dataplates for cockpit instrument panels, sidewalls, radios, throttle & flap quadrants and oxygen/air cylinders etc. 

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 cockpit placards & dataplates as well as their well known instrument panel decals if you decide you want to give your cockpit maximum realism.

I would like to thank airscale for providing me with this review sample.

You can buy this and other cockpit placards as well as individual instrument and instrument panel decals directly from the airscale website.
