Thanks!

On the assumption that this is quite the treat to behold, I would step out there and say that these guys need to pick it up and get as many variations of dashboards out there! This can change the face of the hobby for sure when dealing with open top vehicles!!

Yeah - ya not wrong vettejack !! - i can think of loads of 1/35 Trucks and Cars that would benefit from these dash boards -- so before those other etch set firms , get on this idea , -Yahu , have got the ball , and they should be running with it and be knocking out as many 1/35 dash boards as they can ...

I have some of their plane instrument panels and they are absolutely stunning

Looking forward to seeing what they have to offer as I'm currently building a couple of FAMOs that could use some dash upgrading!

Thank you for the review, Carlos.
Great looking dashboards, the detail is unbelievably sharp, very nice and I look forward to see more sets soon.
No models in my stash (yet) for the present sets, but hopefully soon. Good idea to do a FAMO set if that could be possible.
Also attractive for those who don't want to buy a p/e set just for the dash as they like to scratchbuild the parts in plastic rather than use p/e

Nice review Carlos! These are great little sets. I really would like to see a rapid expansion of this line. I would gladly pay for these to replace the instrument cluster in every model I build where I think it would be visible. Actually, I pay for them for every vehicle even if only I know they are there! I can always photograph it once they are in place. That's good enough for me. I also wish Eduard would reissue some of their pre-painted interior placards and even expand the line with new sets. So many model companies release kits with no interior decals. I think this is a shame, but Yahu and others always seem to step in and fill the gaps.

Regards,

Eric

I have a couple of halftrack kits that would benefit from these (if they were available for those vehicles). I've met model builders who dislike such add-ons as they think it amounts to buying detail rather than building it, but in this case the detail is so fine that it would be all but impossible for most modelers to create. I'll be waiting for dashboards for the M3, 251 etc.
