Hello !!
i am actually working on this modele A6M Zero Step 9 I supposed to paste decal of instruments to the cockpit but

look at this two pics

first one is from the manual as you see (bad quality sorry) the gauge are really detailled





second one is my decal sheet as you can see it s only a black square without any detail ..
only an arrow to show the direction of the top ..




I am crazy or my printed decal sheet is incomplete !???

If anybody can give a bit of help before I go to the shop

thanks for all

Hi there

I haven't built this kit but, since the decals look as though they are designed to be applied to the back of the transparent parts of the instrument panels, I expect the detail is printed on the reverse side and the black patches are just the background for the instrument faces. All will be revealed once you apply them and line them up with the bezels.

All the best

Rowan
