1:48 MiG-21 F-13 - Black Space for Eduard

MiG-21F-13 Black SPACE, Eduard, 1:48 scale (for the Eduard kit)

A detail set from the SPACE range by Eduard for the cockpit of the MiG-21F-13 fighter in 1:48 scale. It is neither a model nor a kit: SPACE combines a color relief 3D decal of the instrument panel and the side consoles with steel photo-etched parts and photo-etched seat belts. The Black version renders the instrument panel in a black shade. The set is intended for the Eduard MiG-21F-13 kit and takes the place of painting and of classic photo-etched parts, offering a quick, color-accurate route to a detailed cockpit.

The real subject

The MiG-21F-13 was an early day version of the famous Soviet fighter with its delta wing and nose air intake with a small regulating cone. It was a light, fast interceptor and frontline fighter armed with short-range guided missiles and a cannon. It is one of the icons of the early 1960s and one of the most characteristic jet fighters of the Cold War.

Use and tips

• Clean and degrease the cockpit parts for good adhesion.
• The steel photo-etched parts are springy and strong: bend them over an edge and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue.
• Apply the color 3D decals onto cleaned parts and let them settle into the recesses.
• Follow the instruction sheet supplied.
