1:48 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc SPACE

Eduard Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc SPACE (1:48)

This set from the SPACE range by the Czech manufacturer Eduard combines colored 3D decals for the instrument and side panels with photo-etched, pre-painted steel seat belts. It makes it possible to improve the cockpit interior of the Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc fighter model in 1:48 scale markedly, without the need for a complicated resin installation. It is not a kit but a detail accessory.

The real subject

The Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc was a British fighter armed with four 20 mm cannons, widely used during the Second World War in the fighter as well as the ground-attack role. A faithfully rendered cockpit with legible instruments and belts is among the things that catch the eye on a model at first glance.

Use

The colored 3D decals have a three-dimensional relief. They have no adhesive layer of their own: the part is released from the backing paper with water and placed onto the panels in the cockpit, where it gives the instruments a three-dimensional, realistic look. Do not add a decal softener to them, as it would attack the printed resin. The photo-etched belts are bent and glued with cyanoacrylate glue. The parts are pre-painted, so there is no need to paint them; it is enough to place them sensitively and, if you wish, to knock back the sheen.

Who it is for

• Builders of Hurricane Mk.IIc models in 1:48 scale
• Modelers who want a realistic cockpit without resin
• Anyone interested in a quick and striking improvement of the interior

The aircraft model, glue and paints are not included in the package. The set holds 3D decals and photo-etched belts.
