1:72 Spitfire Mk.Vb - Space Set (for IBG Models Kits)

Eduard SPACE Spitfire Mk.Vb (1:72, for IBG)

This is neither a kit nor a model but a SPACE detail set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard in 1:72 scale. SPACE combines color 3D decals (three-dimensional decals for the instrument panels and the cockpit sidewalls) with pre-painted steel photo-etched parts, typically seat belts and small cockpit details. The set is intended for the plastic kit of the legendary British fighter Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb from the manufacturer IBG Models. In the small 1:72 scale the application of the fine decals calls for precise work.

Use

• Paint the cockpit with the base interior color
• Apply the 3D decals like decals onto the panels and the sidewalls; they have depth and color instruments, but leave out the preparations for softening decals, as they would damage the printed resin.
• Glue the steel photo-etched parts (the belts and the details) with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue)
• The pre-painted parts only need unifying slightly with a matte varnish

Who the set is for

For modelers building the IBG Spitfire Mk.Vb in 1:72 scale who want a faithful cockpit without painting the instruments by hand. Given the small scale, it is suitable for more experienced modelers.

This is a modeling accessory (3D decals and photo-etched parts), not a kit. The model and the paints are not included in the package.
