Interior Photoetch Set
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing ParaGrafix's photoetch set for the Moebius Models 1:35 scale Jupiter 2 kit. Exact down to the last
detail, this set is ideal for lighting* and includes translucent backlight overlays that even out lighting for the larger displays. In
addition, we have included decals expertly printed by JT Graphics (jt-graphics.com) to bring out every switch and button.
* Electronics are not included.
Materials Materials
In addition to the photoetch, you will also need scissors or a knife* to remove individual pieces from the main fret, a file to remove material
left from cutting**, and super glue (aka CA or cyanoacrylate). We also recommend the use of a clear filler
* We prefer a #17 Xacto chisel blade.
** A diamond type file works best. Tamiya makes one especially for photoetch, though inexpensive alternatives are available.
Raised Detail Raised Detail
Each part of these instructions notes an area where the raised kit detail must be removed. This may be done in whatever way you are most
comfortable: sanding, filing, chiseling. Note that in most cases the surface does not need to be perfectly smooth as the photoetched part will
replace the "lost" kit detail.
Lighting Options Lighting Options
Unless otherwise noted, you can prep areas for lighting by removing plastic from areas where there are through holes in the photoetch. You
can then backlight the photoetch. For best results, we suggest using Micro Kristal Klear from Microscale Industries (www.microscale.com) to
fill the through holes. Even if you will not be lighting the pieces, use MKK to provide a level (or even slightly raised) surface for the decal.
Installation Parts Order Installation Parts Order
The installation order is entirely up to you. We do suggest, though, that only the photoetch be applied before painting the model. For best
results, paint and apply decals before assembling the interior.

Replace kit parts 83, 86, 87, & 88 with 1/32"
(0.8 mm) clear plastic as a base for the
photoetched parts. Alternatively, the main
consoles (86, 87 & 88) can be flipped over,
though you will want to sand the backs to make
them extra smooth. (Paint part 15 black before
assembly.)

Part 15 has an open hub so that you can mount it to a motor drive
to make it spin like the real thing.
