This photo-etched add-on by Yahu Models is for the Republic P-47D Thunderbolt 1:32 scale kit from Trumpeter and focuses on the cockpit instrument panel. It replaces the standard plastic parts with more accurate and detailed photo-etched metal elements that better capture the shape, depth and subtlety of the original instruments. The photo-etched technology allows for sharper edges, thinner bezels and more accurate dials and controls.which enhances the overall level of the model, especially if you're planning an open cockpit or detailed interior lighting.

Working with the photo-etch requires some skill and patience - the parts need to be carefully separated from the support frame (preferably with a sharp knife or plierstongs), bend them to the desired shape using tweezers or a bending tool and glue them with a suitable adhesive, most often CA instant or special photo etch adhesive. It is recommended to study the instructions first and test the bend on less visible parts. The resulting effect greatly improves the appearance of the cockpit and gives the model a more professional character, especiallyin combination with other details such as seat belts, cables or subtle shading of the dashboard.

The package does not include the paint or adhesives needed for assembly.
