A review of Yahu dials and placards for Chevrolet G506 Family kits

Yahu's YML-3516 is a set of 1/35 dials and placards for ICM or MiniArt Chevrolet G506 truck family. Note that despite the label states 1/72, this has been a typo and it is indeed 1/35

It consists of two small photo-etched plates with all text and numbers printed in black and white or gold, as appropriate. 

For reference, keep in mind that the squares on the matt below are 1x1cm

The first fret has all the dials, to be placed directly on the dashboard, and five small rings that go around each instrument. 

The second fret has six placards with information carried by the vehicle. Four of them are duplicated, so you can choose whether to place them, together or separately. 

The small instruction sheet included specifies where each plate goes, with two alternative positions for 5 and 6. 

The resolution and quality are excellent, as usual with Yahu. The markings and needles on the dials are clearly visible and the numbers are legible up to a extremely small size. The same is true of the placards; even when the text is too small to be legible, the shape is still represented by lines of different sizes. As seen on the images below, the effect is completely realistic, both to the naked eye and in photographs.

Conclusion

A small but high-quality set that greatly improves the cab of any model from G506 truck series.
