About product

A color Wildcat interior on film

The SPACE line is built on three-dimensional decals: the color layers are printed on a carrier film, so after transfer onto plastic they look raised while adding practically no thickness. The set covers the instrument panel and the side walls of the cockpit and is complemented by seat belts of photo-etched steel. The cockpit is transformed in a single evening.

The Grumman F4F-4 in combat over the Pacific

The squat machine with a narrow landing gear track was not the most agile, but it took unbelievably hard treatment. The F4F-4 version received folding wings so that more machines fitted on deck, and six 12.7 mm machine guns. In 1942 it carried the main weight of the fighting at Midway and over Guadalcanal, and American pilots answered the Japanese advantage in agility with a pair tactic of mutual cover.

How to work with the decals

Smooth the surfaces under the decal and spray them with gloss varnish, otherwise bubbles will show under the film. Moisten only the backing paper with a sponge, lift the element off with tweezers and set it into a drop of white PVA glue. Do not use a decal softener at all: the chemicals attack the printed resin and ruin the element. Once dry, go over it with matte varnish so the cockpit does not reflect light.

Who the set is for

  • builders of American carrier machines in 1:48 scale
  • modelers who want legible dials without painting
  • anyone interested in an open cockpit with the belts on show
  • those who prefer decals to tiny photo-etched parts

FAQ

They do not. Only the backing paper is moistened, the element is lifted off with tweezers and fixed with white glue.

The base shade of the walls, yes. The decal then takes care of the instruments and the color details.

It will not; do not use a decal softener. The chemicals attack the printed resin and ruin the element.
