Masks for the cockpit glazing of the two-seat de Havilland Mosquito combat aircraft in 1:24 scale. They cover the glazing from outside and inside; national insignia are not included.
Responsibility details are not available.
The de Havilland Mosquito grew out of the idea of building a fast bomber from wood and leaving out the defensive armament, because speed was to take the place of machine guns. The authorities turned the project down at first, but in November 1940 the prototype showed that the machine could outrun the fighters of the day. The fuselage was bonded from plywood shells with a balsa core, which saved aluminum and allowed production in joinery workshops. The type then served as a bomber, a night fighter, a reconnaissance machine and a pathfinder, and its crew consisted of two men sitting side by side. Over 7000 were built in all and some of them were made in Canada and in Australia.
The cut shapes follow the framing of the windscreen, the side sections and the upper glazing above the crew. The covering is from the outer as well as the inner side, so parts for both faces of the glass are included.
The cockpit of a two-seater is considerably larger and more broken up than that of a single-seat fighter, the side panels have a different shape on the left and on the right, and the upper part runs into a curved surface. Cutting all that from tape by hand can easily take an evening's work, and a mistake will not hide on a model over thirty centimeters long. The set offers no insignia, bands or lettering; those have to come from elsewhere. It is good to approach a bonded clear part only after the glue has cured, because the fumes from it can fog the glass under the applied film.
