About product

1:48 Lockheed U-2S SPACE - 3D decals from Eduard

An accessory set of the SPACE series from the Czech manufacturer Eduard, meant for a model of the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft Lockheed U-2S in 1:48 scale. The series combines 3D printed decals, which go straight onto the plastic parts of the cabin, with pre-painted photo-etched belts. A modeler thus gets legible instruments and panels without having to paint every dial. The kit is not included.

The real subject

The U-2 is a single-seat aircraft with an exceptionally long wing, which flies at altitudes out of reach of ordinary types. The U-2S version came about by re-engining the U-2R airframe with a more modern powerplant, and to this day it is among the most distinctive reconnaissance machines in the world. The pilot sits in a pressure suit, the landing is directed from a vehicle driving along the runway and the machine rests on jettisonable supports under the wings. The cabin is therefore full of specific elements that differ from those of classic fighters.

Work tips

Leave the cabin of the U-2S in a dark gray tone, over which the 3D decals will stand out. Degrease the surface before applying them and let it be perfectly dry. Settle the panels one after another from the largest to the smallest, so that the edges can be lined up against each other. Leave the dials glossy and even the rest out with a flat varnish, or pick the edges out gently with a dry brush and a light color.

Who the set suits

  • Builders of modern reconnaissance and special mission aircraft
  • Modelers who want a detailed cabin, but one finished quickly
  • Anyone interested in Cold War vehicles and aircraft and what followed them
  • Those who display a model with the canopy open

Sold separately. Neither the plastic model of the U-2S nor paints are enclosed.

FAQ

Onto the plastic parts of the cabin, that is above all onto the instrument panel and the side panels. The procedure is described in the enclosed instructions.

It is worth spraying the base tone on, so that the surroundings of the decals do not shine with bare plastic. The panels themselves no longer need painting.

It is listed for the U-2S. The older versions have different cabin equipment, so a fit there is not assured.
