Eduard 1/48 Me 262A SPACE
By Jacob Russell
This Space set is for Tamiya's Messerschmitt Me262. Space sets combine 3D printed waterslide decals with a steel photo-etch fret. It consists of 14 parts. 8 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 and sidewall consoles for both fuselage sides plus your choice of 2 different lower instrument panel faces. 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 the decals in the water too long as 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. Eduard includes excellent, well illustrated instructions so this set will be easy to use. I recommend this set and I would like to thank Eduard for the review sample.
