Compatibility
This instrument panel is designed specifically for detailing 1/72 scale plastic models of the Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate. It is fully compatible with model kits of this aircraft, including products from Sword, ensuring a perfect fit for the cockpit.
Application and Assembly
This product is designed to replace the standard, often less detailed, instrument panel in plastic models, raising the overall level of detail. For permanent bonding of metal parts, cyanoacrylate (CA) glue is recommended. Alternatively, for experienced modelers, metal parts can be joined together using soldering, which provides a very strong bond.
