Responsibility details are not available.
A set of three-dimensional (3D) decals for the interior of the two-seat Hornet in the early configuration, 1:32 scale. The elements are printed and colored in production, they have a raised relief of buttons, switches and display bezels, and they are applied on decal paper directly onto the cockpit parts. Against brush painting you gain legible labels and a uniform look of the panels; against flat photo-etch you also gain depth. In the name the set is marked as the smaller version, so it covers a narrower selection of surfaces than the full version. The decals are shaped for the parts of the Academy kit.
The F/A-18D is the two-seat combat version of the Hornet, in which the rear cockpit serves a second crew member operating the aircraft systems. With the US Marine Corps it was used for missions in poor conditions. The Early attribute in the name refers to the early configuration of the cockpit equipment, which differs from the later state in the layout of the panels, and that is exactly why the set exists in several versions.
The 3D decals differ from ordinary wet decals, but they do need water: the element is immersed for about fifteen seconds in lukewarm water and slid off the backing decal paper. It has no adhesive layer of its own and holds on gloss varnish, so give the surface a coat of gloss varnish first; a flat surface is a mistake. Do not use a decal softener or setter at all, their chemistry will attack the printed resin. Follow the instructions supplied with the set. In general the surface should be degreased and dry, the elements are laid down with tweezers and it is sensible to test the fit dry. With a two-seat cockpit, plan the order of work in advance so that you do not touch the finished front section while fitting the rear one. A light flattening coat at the end helps so that the interior does not look unevenly glossy.
This is not an aircraft model but an add-on set for the interior. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
