A set of masking films for a large model of the prewar Curtiss Hawk in British markings. The stencil for the flat windscreen has two layers, and two roundel discs and a marking sheet are enclosed.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Mohawk belonged to the generation when a cockpit was only just getting a roof, and it shows on it. The windscreen is made of flat panes with no curvature, so you look in through them almost perpendicularly: the instrument panel with its round dials, the control column and the upper part of the seat are far more clearly visible than on later machines with a domed canopy.
The work with paint matches that. The inner face of the frames is painted in the dark cockpit shade so that the dials do not reflect the sun into the pilot's eyes, while the outside carries the camouflage blotches. The two masks in the set make it possible to spray each side separately and to leave only the thickness of the acrylic between them.
British roundels have concentric circles and it is precisely on them that spraying pays off most. A decal goes wavy on the curve of the wing leading edge, whereas a mask can be pressed into the curve and the paint holds on the surface just like the camouflage around it.
The thin frames of early cockpits are easily painted over. Apply the paint rather dry and in several passes, so that the edge of the film is not lost under a heavy coat. Direct the last pass perpendicular to the bars, not along them.
