Key Features and Materials:
Material: The set includes pre-painted photo-etched (PE) parts, characterized by exceptional manufacturing precision.

Application and Compatibility
The primary application of this product is to enhance the cockpit interior of Messerschmitt Me-163 B-0 models in 1/32 scale. This set is an ideal solution for modelers who wish to elevate the standard of their project by adding precisely reproduced, ready-to-use details. Compatibility has been confirmed with model kits from Meng and Hasegawa.
Assembly Tips
For a durable bond of metal photo-etched parts, it is recommended to use cyanoacrylate (CA) glue. For more advanced work, metal parts can also be joined using a soldering iron, which ensures strong and precise joints.
Integration with Additional Accessories
The Yahu Models instrument panel perfectly complements other aftermarket detail parts available in the modeling market. For a comprehensive enhancement of your Messerschmitt Me-163 B-0 model, we recommend complementing the set with interior and exterior photo-etched accessories, resin parts (e.g., pilot seats, landing gear bays), painting masks for canopy and camouflage, metal gun barrels, and dedicated decals. The synergy of these elements allows for achieving the highest level of realism in any modeling project.
Since the Yahu Models instrument panel is factory-colored, it does not require additional painting. For painting the interior of the Messerschmitt Me-163 B-0 cockpit (frames, side panels), it is recommended to use paint in the color RLM 66 Schwarzgrau.
