  1. Modern Jet Cockpit Instruments and Upgrades 1:32 Airscale Airscale have recently been expanding their range of cockpit details and bezels with some superbly crafted products. Peter has recently sent us four sets to review, three in 1:32 and one in 1:48. The Jet Detail and Upgrade sets contain the same parts si I will only write about them as one, the other two sets a small departure to Airscale, in that they aren’t etched brass, but sets of decals. The Jet Detail and Upgrade sets, (PE32 MOD and PE48 MOD) contains a single sheet of relief etched brass filled with a myriad of different items found in the modern jet. These include:- Martin Baker Mk7 ejection seat handle ACES II ejection seat handle Martin Baker Mk5 ejection seat handle ACES II ejection seat handle VS1 ejection seat handle ACES II ejection seat handle Martin Baker manual override handle Martin Baker Mk5/7 ejection seat handle Assorted cover plates/placard bases Up Front Control Display Pilots fault display Assorted console switch panels Assorted AoA/Fuel/VSI bezels Canopy Mirrors Temperature and Pressure bezels Airspeed and altitude bezels Horizontal situation indicators Attitude Director Indicators Magnetic compasses Altimeters 6x5 Colour multifunction displays 6x5 Colour multifunction display indicator Combined radar projected map display Landscape, MFD/MFCD/MPCD 6x6 Multi-function display 5x5 Multi-function display 4x4 Multi-function display 5x5 Multi-purpose display indicator 5x5 Multi-purpose display repeater 4x4 multi-purpose colour display 1:32 1:48 The Modern Cockpit Instruments (AS32 HAC) contains a single decal sheet, printed by Fantasy Printshop, which is filled with the various instruments and screens found in modern jet aircraft. Unlike similar sets from other manufacturers, the decals are not on a single layer of carrier film, meaning that you won’t have to laboriously cut out the individual instruments to use. Whilst the majority of instruments are marked up, the MFD display screens are generic and you may choose whichever fits your cockpit best. To help with the look, there is a small clear styrene sheet included to represent the glass in front of the instrument. The list of instruments include:- US attitude director indicators EU attitude director indicators US horizontal situation indicators EU horizontal situation indicators US altimeters EU altimeters Exhaust nozzle position indicator EU airspeed indicators US airspeed indicators EU fuel turbine inlet temperature US fuel turbine inlet temperature RPM indicators AoA indicator round EPU fuel Oxygen Vertical velocity indicator round Fuel quantity AoA indicator Electrical vertical Vertical velocity indicator vertical Round radar screens MFD screens with bezels MFD screen displays The Modern Cockpit Dataplate and Warning Decals (AS32 DAN) also contains a single decal sheet, this time filled with the various placards and hazard labels. As with the instrument decal sheet the decals are on separate carrier film pads. Whilst most of the placards can be use direct from the sheet, the hazard markings are printed in squares and will need to be cut to size. These are used in areas such as weapon arming, seat belt handles etc. The other placards include:- Console labels Ejection seat warning signs Ejection seat hazard warnings Specific warnings Dataplates Whilst the labels are not legible to the naked eye, they do give a good impression and make the cockpit a suitably busy air. Conclusion I just love the bezels and fittings that these sets provide. The addition of the decals sets is a much needed bonus, particularly for modellers on this side of the Atlantic, making them easily accessible. Highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of Peter at
