1:72 McDonnell F-15D Eagle

1:72 F-15D Eagle, a 3D interior decal with photo-etch (Eduard)

A set from the SPACE range for rendering the cockpit of the two-seat F-15D Eagle fighter in 1:72 scale. It combines colored 3D elements printed on decal backing paper, which have no adhesive layer of their own, with steel photo-etched parts. This is NOT a kit; it is an accessory that raises the detail of the interior.

What the set contains

Colored 3D elements of the instrument panels and side panels of both pilot compartments with pre-printed dials and lettering, and steel photo-etched seat belts. The execution saves work with masking and painting small elements.

Use

• With a damp sponge and a drop of dish soap, wet only the backing paper, lift the element off with tweezers and fix it with PVA white glue.
• The maker does not recommend super glue with the 3D elements; bend the steel photo-etched belts to shape and glue them with exactly that.
• Do not use decal softener, as it attacks the printed resin. Once dry, press the details gently into the recesses.

Who the set is for

• Builders of the F-15D in 1:72 who want a premium cockpit without extensive photo-etch work.
• Modelers who appreciate the combination of colored 3D elements and metal belts.

This is an accessory to a plastic kit; the model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package.
