About product

Eduard SPACE - Spitfire Mk.IXe 1:48 (for Airfix kits)

The SPACE set from the Czech maker Eduard is an accessory for a kit, not an aircraft model. You will find no plastic fuselage or wing parts in the package - the set is meant to improve the interior of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXe kit in 1:48 scale from Airfix. The base kit therefore has to be obtained separately.

What SPACE is and how it differs

SPACE is built on 3D-printed color decals on decal backing paper. These are neither conventional flat decals nor photo-etch - the print has real thickness and three-dimensional relief, so the instrument panel and the side panels look spatial, with raised dials, levers and knobs. The elements are already finished and in color: you moisten only the backing paper, lift the element off with tweezers and fix it with PVA glue (white glue). The set is completed by colored photo-etched seat belts, which bend realistically and drape over the seat. The combination of 3D decals and photo-etch is Eduard's answer to getting the maximum detail into a cockpit with the minimum of work.

Use

  • Intended for one particular kit - the Spitfire Mk.IXe 1:48 from Airfix; the parts follow its shapes.
  • Degrease the surface and let it dry completely; the elements are seated on a finished, that is, painted part. The manufacturer does not recommend super glue for them.
  • Moisten only the backing paper with a damp sponge and a drop of dish soap, lift the decal off with tweezers and seat it into PVA glue with a soft tool; do not use a decal softener, as it attacks the printed layer.
  • Separate the photo-etched belts before bending, shape them with tweezers and glue them at a few points with super glue.
  • We recommend finishing the whole interior before the fuselage is glued together.

Who the set is for

For modelers who are building the Airfix Spitfire Mk.IXe 1:48 and want a visibly better cockpit without laboriously brush-painting the instrument panel. Even a slightly advanced modeler will manage it - it is the quickest route to a three-dimensional interior.

This is an accessory set, not a kit. The base model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a set of accessories for the interior. The Spitfire Mk.IXe 1:48 kit from Airfix has to be bought separately.

SPACE uses 3D-printed color decals that have real thickness and three-dimensional relief, so the instrument panel looks spatial. A photo-etched set is flat and usually takes more work. The seat belts in this set are photo-etched.

No. Both the decals and the belts are already in color. You will only be painting the surrounding plastic cockpit parts.
