SPACE set – pre-painted, dimensional 3D cockpit decals

SPACE is an Eduard line combining pre-painted, dimensional (3D) decals reproducing the instrument panel, cockpit sidewalls and seatbelts, reproduced directly on the dimensional 3D decals. The 3D decals have a tangible texture and depth, so the dials and switches look realistic without the need to hand-paint the small details.

The self-adhesive decals are applied directly to the cockpit parts from the kit, including the seatbelts onto the seat. It is a quick way to significantly raise the realism of the model's interior. The parts are designed for a specific plastic kit.

About the aircraft – Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9:

The Fw 190D-9, known as the "Dora" or "long-nose Dora" (Langnasen-Dora), is a development version of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighter in which the radial BMW 801 engine was replaced by the liquid-cooled inline Junkers Jumo 213A. The lengthened forward fuselage and the characteristic annular radiator improved its performance at medium and high altitudes.

The D-9 entered service in the autumn of 1944 and was regarded as one of the best German piston-engined fighters of the late war. It was used to attack Allied bombers and escort fighters and to protect Me 262 jet airfields.
