Kelik 1:72 — colored 3D interior decals for the Dewoitine D.520 replace painting the cockpit. Intended for the Hobby 2000 and Hasegawa kits.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not an aircraft model but a set of colored three-dimensional decals for the cockpit interior. The box states that they are cut for the Hobby 2000 and Hasegawa kits. The Ukrainian brand Kelik prints the decals with relief onto a carrier sheet, so once applied, the instrument panel and the side panels show raised detail as well as colors that would be hard to paint in 1:72 scale.
The Dewoitine D.520 was the highest-performing French fighter that managed to take part in the fighting of 1940. It was powered by the V12 Hispano-Suiza 12Y engine, and its armament was a 20 mm cannon firing through the propeller shaft together with machine guns in the wing. Against the Bf 109E it was agile and, in experienced hands, an equal match, but it reached service late and in small numbers. After the fall of France the D.520 went on flying with Vichy units, and some reached other users as well.
Spray the interior parts in the base cockpit color first and let them dry completely, because a decal will not seat on paint that is not fully dry. Degrease the surfaces before applying. Carry the decals with tweezers and apply pressure with a cotton swab from the center toward the edges, so that no air bubble is left. You will find the application procedure in the enclosed instructions; it differs between the individual types of decal. Do not give the finished interior a gloss clear coat; a matte surface looks more convincing.
The set holds decals only. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
