checksix214 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Anyone have a good way of making 1/48 instrument bezels? I'm starting the Monogram P-38 which has a decal for the panel so i wanna scratch build one. Anysuggestions other than buying an after market would be greatly appreciated.

a20havoc Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) One option is to build up your own. Start with thin sheet and drill holes. Then wrap fine wire around your drill bit and cut to a ring for a bezel. Glue the ring on with future or white glue. You could also use 5 thou sheet for small raised squares for bezels. You could laminate the inst decal in, or punch them out and apply on the front. Use solvaset to get them to settle down. The zoom photo etch sets are also pretty nice.

ChippyWho Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Not as much fun (?), but I think Airscale are augmenting their 1/48 WWII cockpit detail range with some generic bezels: More here... Edited May 18, 2013 by ChippyWho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
