1:32 Yakovlev Yak-9T SPACE is a set of Eduard 3D-printed color decals for the cockpit of this Soviet fighter in the large 1:32 scale. It is an add-on to a kit, not a model of the aircraft.
Responsibility details are not available.
The SPACE line rests on a different principle from photo-etched sets. Instead of thin metal sheet there are 3D-printed color decals on backing paper that have real relief: dials, levers and switches stand out above the base and the color is printed in at the factory. They are fitted straight onto the plastic parts of the kit, so they are easier to work with than photo-etching and the result has sculptural depth.
The set is aimed at the pilot's cockpit — at the instrument panel, the side consoles and the panels that go with them. The 1:32 scale suits this kind of add-on more than any other: the cockpit is large, the canopy is glazed and when you look inside you see absolutely everything. An empty plastic panel with engraved rings would look poor in this scale, whereas relief decals fill it with legible instruments.
The Yak-9T was the antiarmor variant with a large-caliber cannon mounted on the propeller axis. Because of the length of the weapon the pilot's cockpit moved back, which from the point of view of a model shows in the arrangement of the interior as well. The aircraft was used against ground targets and against fortified points and was among the typical representatives of the Soviet Yak line.
The base has to be clean, smooth and degreased. The items have no adhesive layer of their own: with a damp sponge and a drop of dish soap moisten only the backing paper, lift the item off with tweezers and seat it in place, where you fix it with white PVA glue. The manufacturer does not recommend cyanoacrylate glue, and do not use a decal softener, as its chemistry attacks the printed resin. Carefully sand down engraved detail on the plastic that would keep a part from seating. Apply matte clear coat only lightly and from a distance.
This is an add-on to a model. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
