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.

Great tutorial, Metodi. Personally, I find it more realistic and closer to the real instrument panels you see in old photos.

Love these videos, short and to the point but well explained! For me, I prefer to leave the color decal in place, adding a subtle coat of paint to the instrument panel to vary the color 👍

This one is quite useful. I'll put it in my arsenal. A quick question: do you use some kind of magnifying glasses/instruments when dealing with small objects?

Thanks mate 👍 no, not yet. Its good for the eyes to make them work hard.
What paint/brand did you use for the transparent amber on the dials? It looks great, and I want to try that effect on some scale homemade computer terminals.

Amber translucent paint... gsi creos if I recall correctly
That does look more realistic to me , I agree that alot of the prepaited parts are not always desirable, in many cases the paint on these pre painted parts is bumpy and distorted!

I guess there is a limitation on the production side. I bet they see the texture too :)
Looks great! If you wanted to take it a step further, I've seen people drop a bit of clear resin mix into each instrument.

Thanks, the acetate sheet does the glossy part pretty well IMO
That looks really great ! As you I don’t like the look of P-E instrument panels. But how would you do your technic with no acetate sheet and only decals ?

Impressive. So cool! Have you ever tried using pre-made random instrument panel decals? I have yet to do so. Just wondering if anyone has done so?

Yes I collect all left over decals and use instruments mainly on my self made parts if they need instrument faces.
WOW .... NICE Tip!!!! I Really enjoy the amber and white background on the dial numbers and gauges! THAT, really gives it a older, used, combat-driven use of this plane!! 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!

Thanks mate, 1/72 is a bit small but with some care it can be done. Got to evaluate if it is worth the effort.

That looks awesome. I never really thought about the aging gauges. Your technique perfectly replicates the look. I love those 3D gauges but you don’t need them. Modeling is getting like RC, you have to invest so much money it becomes less fun.

I agree completely. 3d is awesome... but it is another step from traditional model making. Is it a step too far? I dont know. I had the same concern when photo-etch came out and now I use it semi-often.

I personally don't care what anyone uses. If 3D decals makes a modeller happy then it is all good. As I said in the video, I enjoy the process.

What was the liquid you used to remove the colour from the PE? I thought you said stone works grey.

Sorry, don't agree with you concerning 3d Decals. Using them save a lot of time despite of the price and they look much better than PE. Thank you for the video.
