This new release from airscale gives you a vast selection of individual instruments for WW1 aircraft from both sides of the conflict.  These are stunning representations of real aircraft instruments in 1/32 fine scale to enable you to upgrade kit instrument panels, or for use when scratchbuilding an authentic, scale alternative.

The dotted lines on the photos 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 which individual instrument decals are included.  

Each set includes: 

• Esoteric multi-colour instrumentation found on fighter aircraft from the Great War; including the Camel, SPAD, Nieuport, SE5a, DR1, DVII, Albatros, Pfalz and common to many WW1 types 
• Individual Instruments that are separate on the decal sheet with a minimum of carrier film 
• Available in 1:32 and 1:48 scale - 1:48 are bumper quad size sets
• Instruments for flight control, navigation, and engine management 
• Sheet of optically clear replacement simulated instrument glass 
• Fully illustrated instructions 

Airscale instrument decals can be used either;

• Behind kit instrument panel parts, mounted on a backplate
• Applied on top of a kit panel.  (Decal setting solutions may be required)

With the ever growing selection of 1/32 WW1 kits being released, it is good to see these new decals being released.  airscale also has an ever growing selection of instrument panel decals for a variety of aircraft if you decide you don't want to use the individual instrument decals provided in this set.  The 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.
