Red Fox Studio 1/32 Spitfire Mk.VIII 3D Instrument Panel

Bring greater depth and precision to your Tamiya 1/32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VIII cockpit with this Quick Set 3D instrument panel from Red Fox Studio. Reference RFSQS-32066 is a coloured resin accessory designed to enhance the kit cockpit with finely rendered instruments, gauges, controls and raised panel features.

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

Recommended for the Tamiya Spitfire Mk.VIII

This 1/32 scale instrument panel is recommended for the Tamiya Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VIII kit. It provides a focused cockpit enhancement for modellers seeking additional depth and definition without recreating the numerous instruments and controls 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.

Easy Installation and Optional Finishing

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

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