SPACE 3D decals – three-dimensional interior detail without painting

SPACE are self-adhesive 3D decals printed on a clear carrier that create raised, multi-coloured detail. They reproduce instrument panels, side consoles and seatbelts – all as 3D decals, without separate photo-etched parts.

The decals are applied like ordinary waterslide decals onto a prepared, smooth surface. It is a convenient way to achieve a rich, colourful interior without painting fine details.
