1:32 F/A-18A Hornet by Red Fox Studio is a sheet of 3D decals for the cabin of the single-seat Hornet in the A version. An accessory for raising the detail of the cockpit, not an aircraft model. Intended for the Academy and Kinetic kits.
Responsibility details are not available.
The sheet completes the cabin of the single-seat Hornet of the early series. The print is carried by a layered film with a thickness of its own, thanks to which the instrument panel and the side consoles gain real three-dimensional relief and cast a shadow when viewed from above. In the large 1:32 scale that shows most, because the cabin is big here and an open canopy leaves it in view. The set is intended for the Academy and Kinetic kits.
The F/A-18A is the single-seat version of the so-called legacy Hornet, that is of the original series before the later upgrades. A single pilot sits in it, the instrument panel combines rectangular screens with conventional instruments, and control panels adjoin it at the sides. The set is cut precisely for this layout; it does not fit the two-seat B version, where a second cabin with a panel of its own sits behind the pilot.
Conforming to relief
A three-dimensional decal behaves differently from a conventional one. A thicker layer is harder to shape over edges, so dab it down with a damp soft brush or cloth, working gradually from the center toward the edges so that the air has somewhere to escape. Press the piece into details with a soft cotton swab and go over the surface with gloss varnish beforehand. Whether a decal softener can be used with it is to be checked in the manufacturer's instructions; manufacturers tend to be cautious about it with printed elements. If a piece does not seat properly the first time, let it soak in water for a while before you move it again.
This is a cockpit accessory, not an aircraft model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
