USSR WWII Aircrew Parachutes Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDP48041

Metallic Details MDP48041 is a 3D Decals set representing USSR WWII aircrew parachutes in 1/48. It’s designed for the cockpit/crew area where a parachute pack adds believable volume behind or around the seating position.

Each set includes parachutes for two crew positions. Seats are not included.

Parachute packs can be one of the few “soft” shapes visible in an otherwise mechanical interior. Used carefully, they help break up flat surfaces and make the crew compartment look more lived-in without changing the base kit structure.

For modelers: test-fit the parachute pieces against your seat and cockpit sidewalls before committing. If you plan to close the canopy, check clearance early—especially behind the headrest area. Apply these as one of the last interior steps after main painting, and seal gently once fully set to protect raised edges during final assembly.

FAQ

Are seats included in the set?

No. The set includes parachute 3D decals for two crew positions; seats are not included.

Where do these parachutes typically go in the cockpit?

Placement depends on the kit’s seat and cockpit layout. Test-fit against the seat back and nearby sidewalls to confirm the most natural position.

When should I apply them during the build?

After the main interior painting is complete. Do a quick canopy clearance check first, apply the pieces, and seal lightly once fully set.
