Global Scale Modeller

Many times some of the lesser detailed kits come with a basic or generic dash for the cockpit. On my J2F Duck build they supplied a piece of plastic and had a decal with 4 circles on it to represent the dash. So I decided to make my own dash. I searched on the internet for a photo of the actual dash. Sized it to the scale then printed it out. I used it as a guide to cut the shape out of a thin sheet of styrene. Then using the photo I made a decal out of it and ended with an more accurate nice looking dash. You can see all the steps at https://davidsscalemodels.com/tips-and- ... m-scratch/


This photo show the kit dash then the scaled photo, the decal, and the final dash.



And here is how it looks in the cockpit.

Some great work here
It is always disappointing when a kit doesn’t live up to the detail required
Excellent scratch work skills
