1/6 Bf109-E instrument panel (unpainted)
I designed the following instrument panel for my ESM Bf109. The original was 3D printed in various pieces then smoothed and assembled for molding.
Since I am able to mold as many as I want, I produced few more. What is for sale is one unpainted instrument panel with a printed sheet of scaled instruments.
The following is how I finished the panel:
For painting I used Testor enamel, I gently washed the panel with cold water and dish soap then rinsed well. I sprayed the panel with flat black then painted the details. The instruments were cut from the photo printed paper and glued with a drop of Amazing GOOP, it allowed to place the instrument nicely and control how deep in the recess to place it. For the instrument glass, I used a clear finishing epoxy which a degassed to remove trapped air bubbles as much as possible. I used a syringe to poor the epoxy in each recess, on top of the instrument. If using this technique, cover the instrument sheet with a clear packing tape to seal the paper. In my case, the epoxy started to soak the instrument paper before curing, I think the tape will help to avoid that.
