Responsibility details are not available.
A SPACE set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard in 1:48 scale for a model of the two-seat F-16D Block 40. SPACE is Eduard's range of 3D decals — the artwork carries three-dimensional relief, so the interior of the cockpit gains depth without your having to bend photo-etch. This is an accessory for a kit, not a model and not a kit.
A photo-etched set has to be bent, glued and usually painted as well. A 3D decal is lifted from moistened backing paper and arrives finished in color. On the two-seat F-16D the advantage shows twice over, because both the front and the rear cockpit have to be fitted out.
The F-16D is the two-seat variant of the multirole F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter. Block 40 belongs to the generation that extended the aircraft's capability with equipment for operating in reduced visibility and with navigation and targeting systems carried in pods. The changes fed through into the cockpit as well — compared with Block 30 the instrument fit and the arrangement of the displays differ. For a modeler this is crucial: the sets for the individual blocks are not interchangeable and you have to choose the one matching the machine you are building.
The surface under the decal has to be smooth and clean. Moisten only the backing paper, lift the element off with tweezers and transfer it without sliding; it is fixed with PVA glue (white glue). Do not use a decal softener or a decal fixer, as the chemicals attack the printed resin and would ruin the element. Before closing the fuselage up, check with a dry test fit that the parts meet without pressure.
