Exterior panels and access covers for the F3H-2M Demon carrier fighter in 1:48. A print with a real thickness of layer takes the place of mere engraved lines on the skin.
Responsibility details are not available.
The McDonnell F3H Demon was a single-engine carrier fighter with a swept wing whose development belonged to the bitterest chapters of American postwar aviation. The J40 powerplant originally intended for it proved a dead end, and only the J71 engine made of the machine an aircraft that could be entrusted to crews on the decks. The F3H-2M version carried Sparrow guided missiles and thus ranks among the first carrier fighters whose main weapon was not guns but radar-guided missiles. In service the Demon lasted roughly until the middle of the 1960s, when its place was taken over by the Phantom.
This set does not concern itself with the cabin. It is aimed at the external surfaces: access covers, reinforcing plates and other elements that an injection mold can suggest at most by an engraved line. A printed panel has a measurable thickness, so once glued on it really does stand above the skin and casts a shadow of its own in oblique light. That brings the model closer to how real sheet metal riveted over a structure looks.
Before seating them it is advisable to smooth the skin perfectly, because every unevenness will show through a thin layer. The panels are placed gradually, not all at once, and it is sensible to check their position in advance against documentation of the particular production batch.
