1:35 UH-1Y 3D-Printed & coloured Interior on decal paper (Trumpeter) (Small version)

Quinta Studio 1:35 UH-1Y interior (3D decal, small version)

This set is a colored 3D-printed interior of the Bell UH-1Y utility helicopter in 1:35 scale, in the small version. It is a colored three-dimensional interior printed on decal paper. It is not an aircraft model but a detail accessory that replaces the flat or simplified elements of the cockpit from the basic kit. It is the smaller (simplified) version of the set, focused on the key elements of the interior that are on view, above all the instrument panel, the consoles and the side panels. This variant of the set is adapted to the dimensions of the matching kit.

The real subject

The Bell UH-1Y Venom is a modern twin-engine utility helicopter of the United States Marine Corps, derived from the Huey family. It has a four-blade rotor, more powerful engines and modernized avionics, and it serves for transport, support and liaison.

Usage tips

The elements are cut out, soaked in lukewarm water for about 15 seconds and slid off the backing paper onto the given place in the cockpit. They have no adhesive layer of their own and hold on a gloss varnish (Future/Klear, Tamiya X-22), which is why a flat base is a mistake. A decal softener does not belong here; its chemistry attacks the printed resin and destroys the element. In busy places a drop of super glue and patient work with tweezers will help. Painting the instruments is usually unnecessary, because the panel is already printed realistically.

Who the set is for

• For modelers who want a realistic cockpit without lengthy painting
• For builders in 1:35 scale looking for three-dimensional detail of an interior
• For advanced as well as moderately experienced modelers used to working with decals

This is an accessory set of decals, not a stand-alone model. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
