Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Mk.II SPACE
By Jacob Russell
This Space set is for Eduard's Supermarine Spitfire Mk.II kit. Space sets combine 3D printed waterslide decals with a steel photo-etch fret. This set consists of 32 parts. 7 of these are decals and the rest are photo-etched parts on a single fret. Several of these are pre-painted. The 3D decals include an instrument panel, compass face and sidewall consoles. The decals are straightforward to use: you soak the sheet in warm water for a couple of seconds until the decals slide off the backing sheet. Don't leave them in the water too long: this causes them to swell and distort.

You can use white glue or GSI Creos (Gunze) Mr. Mark Setter to increase their adhesion and for best results apply clear gloss before attaching them.
The photo-etch parts include the seat harness, head armor, control column gun trigger, rudder pedals, etc. Eduard includes excellent, well illustrated instructions so it should be easy to use these parts.

This is a great idea and I'm excited to use this set on my Spitfire Mk.II kit. Watch this space for pictures of the finished product. I recommend this set and I would like to thank Eduard for the review sample.
