The Yahu Models 1:72 instrument panel is a high-quality detailing accessory dedicated to Stearman PT-17 plastic model kits, especially for Revell 1/72 scale kits.

Key Features of Yahu Models Products
Yahu Models parts are characterized by precise craftsmanship and are designed for instant installation:
Precise Replication: The instrument panel was designed based on documentation, ensuring realistic reproduction of even the smallest details and gauges in the Stearman PT-17 cockpit.
Ready-to-Use: The parts are pre-painted and colored from the factory, which eliminates the need for additional painting by the modeler. They can be used straight out of the package.
Material: Made of photo-etched metal, which guarantees exceptionally thin profiles, sharp detail rendering, and precise openings, significantly surpassing the capabilities of molded plastic counterparts.
High Detail: Photo-etched metal parts offer significantly higher detail compared to standard model kit parts, ensuring a more realistic appearance for your miniature.
Compatibility and Application
This instrument panel has been designed as a dedicated detailing part for the following model:
Stearman PT-17 (Revell version, 1/72 scale)
The product is optimized for a perfect fit with the mentioned kit, replacing standard, less detailed plastic parts, resulting in a more authentic appearance for the finished model.
Assembly of Photo-Etched Parts
Assembling photo-etched metal parts is straightforward and allows for a quick and effective boost to the model's realism. For attaching the instrument panel, we recommend using:
Cyanoacrylate (CA) Glue: This provides a strong and durable bond between metal parts and the plastic components of the model or other photo-etched elements.
Soldering: For experienced modelers, metal parts can be joined by soldering, which provides an exceptionally strong bond, ideal for more durable constructions.
Material Properties and Finish
The package contains pre-colored photo-etched parts, precisely crafted from metal. Their surface is already prepped and painted, replicating the authentic appearance of the Stearman PT-17 instrument panel. This means you receive a finished part, ready for direct insertion into your model straight out of the package.
If you wish to further enhance your Stearman PT-17 model or other aircraft builds, we encourage you to explore our wide range of other modeling accessories. These include photo-etched add-ons, resin parts, painting masks for canopies and camouflage, metal gun barrels, and decals, which can complement and elevate the realism of your miniature.
