Red Fox Studio 1/24 F6F-5 Hellcat 3D Instrument Panel

Bring extra depth and definition to your Airfix 1/24 Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat cockpit with this Quick Set 3D instrument panel from Red Fox Studio. Reference RFSQS-24002 is a coloured resin accessory designed to enhance this prominent area of the aircraft model with precisely rendered instrumentation and raised panel features.

The three-dimensional surface gives the individual instruments and controls a more convincing appearance than a flat panel. Its coloured finish clearly distinguishes the smaller details, providing an impressive foundation for the cockpit while reducing the intricate painting needed to define every element individually.

Recommended for the Airfix Hellcat

This 1/24 scale instrument panel is recommended for the Airfix Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat kit. It provides a focused cockpit upgrade for modellers who want to make the interior a stronger feature of the finished aircraft. The precisely formed details add character and visual interest while complementing the surrounding kit components.

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

Easy Installation and Further Finishing

The panel can be attached using cyanoacrylate or PVA model glue. Once the position and fit have been confirmed, apply the chosen adhesive carefully and secure the component within the cockpit. This straightforward installation makes the accessory suitable for beginners as well as experienced aircraft modellers.

Although supplied with a coloured finish, the instrument panel can be further customised using oil-based or acrylic paints. Carefully applied washes, shading and highlights can help coordinate the accessory with the surrounding cockpit finish and emphasise selected raised features.

Red Fox Studio RFSQS-24002 combines realistic surface depth, clearly defined instrumentation and practical installation in one specialised F6F-5 Hellcat accessory. It offers an effective way to elevate the cockpit without having to recreate each instrument face and control by hand.
