Simple technique for your model's dashboard - how to create awesome scale model instrument panels

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I am going to show you a simple technique that I used with my 1/48th scale F4U Corsair dashboard so it can look awesome.
It's not cheating to use 3d printed decals to spice up yor cockpits but I prefer to do in myself.

Does this work for 1/72 scale?? I do have several 48 scale WW2 planes that I Would LOVE to use this technique! AND, I also have 'Eduards' PE as well, but I have MANY 72 scale A/C!
