About product

de Havilland Vampire F.3, seat 1:48, Eduard (direct 3D printing)

An add-on detail set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard in its Brassin line of 3D printed parts. The package holds a 3D printed pilot seat for a model of the British de Havilland Vampire F.3 jet fighter in 1:48 scale and supplementary colored photo-etched parts. The seat is meant as a direct replacement for the plastic part from the kit, and the manufacturer names the Airfix model as the target kit.

Why the seat in particular is worth changing

The Vampire was among the first British jet fighters: it has a short fuselage, a pair of tail booms and a well glazed canopy. More of the interior is therefore visible through the teardrop canopy than on most propeller machines, and the seat is the most conspicuous element in the cockpit. Direct 3D printing captures sharp edges, fine frames and a depth that injection-molded plastic simply cannot manage because of the mold. The result is detail that stands up to a close look or a macro photograph of the finished model once painted.

Use and fitting

  • Separate the part carefully from the print supports; 3D printed components are thin and brittle, and haste does not pay.
  • Before gluing, wash the seat in lukewarm soapy water and let it dry out completely.
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate); ordinary cement for polystyrene does not work here.
  • Lay down a primer before painting; it improves the grip of the paint and reveals any flaws in the surface.
  • Use respiratory protection for any sanding and work wet, as dust from printed resins must not be breathed in.

Who the set is for

For modelers who build the Vampire F.3 in 1:48 and want to take the cockpit beyond what is in the box. The fitting is simple but calls for a light hand and work with super glue, so it suits more advanced builders.

This is not an aircraft model. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

It is not. This is purely an add-on detail set for the cockpit. The Vampire F.3 kit in 1:48 scale has to be bought separately.

Eduard names the Airfix model in 1:48 scale as the recommended kit. In other Vampire F.3 kits the cockpit tub may need a small modification.

First clean the seat carefully of the print supports and wash it. It is bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate), and we recommend a primer before painting. Cement for polystyrene will not hold here.

Yes, the thin sections are more brittle than injection-molded plastic. Handle the part carefully, above all while separating it from the supports and while sanding.
