Scale aviation modeller international

decals are provided for instrument

dials and data placards, and they

settle down perfectly over the

raised areas, only requiring care

and precision in applying them.

The two ejector seats are nicely

detailed, but they do feature

moulded-on seat belts. To improve

the finished look of the seats, I used

Eduard’s new pre-coloured steel

etched belts, kindly provided by

the Editor, which greatly enhanced

the appearance of the seats.

As there are three clear panels

covering the circuit breakers, the

starboard cockpit wall panel is

provided as a clear part, so careful

masking is required to protect the

clear covers during painting. A

decal is provided to fit

on the rear of the part

to simulate the circuit

breakers themselves,

which is a real nice touch.
