Red Fox Studio 1/35 AH-1Z Shark Mouth 3D Instrument Panel

Add greater depth and definition to your Academy 1/35 AH-1Z Shark Mouth cockpit with this Quick Set 3D instrument panel from Red Fox Studio. Reference RFSQS-35003 is a coloured resin accessory designed to enhance the kit cockpit with precisely rendered instruments, displays, buttons and raised panel features.

The three-dimensional construction gives the individual controls and instrument faces a more convincing appearance than a flat panel. Its coloured finish clearly distinguishes the smaller details, while the displays recreate the reflective appearance of glazed bezels. This provides a detailed foundation for the cockpit and reduces the intricate painting required to define every element individually.

Recommended for the Academy AH-1Z

This 1/35 scale instrument panel is recommended for the Academy AH-1Z Shark Mouth kit. It offers a focused cockpit enhancement for modellers seeking additional precision and visual depth without recreating the numerous controls and display features by hand.

The resin material is minimally flexible, allowing careful adjustment while positioning the component. It can also be gently sanded where required to refine the fit. Test the panel inside the cockpit before applying adhesive, then make any small adjustments needed to achieve accurate placement and alignment.

Simple Installation and Further Finishing

The instrument panel can be attached using cyanoacrylate or PVA model glue. Once its position has been confirmed, apply the selected adhesive carefully and secure the component within the cockpit. The straightforward fitting process makes this accessory suitable for beginners while providing the detailed finish sought by experienced modellers.

The coloured surface can be further customised using oil-based or acrylic paints. Carefully applied washes, shading and highlights can help coordinate the panel with the surrounding cockpit finish and emphasise selected raised details. Browse the acrylic paints range for additional finishing options.
