A set of cuts for the early Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib with the side doors. The cockpit is masked from both faces, the insignia are handled by two stencils and the rest of the markings is covered by the decals enclosed.
Responsibility details are not available.
The early Typhoons were entered through side doors of a kind one would expect on a car rather than on a fighter-bomber with a Napier Sabre engine. The framing around these doors and the tall bulkhead behind the pilot's head give the aircraft a profile that the later sliding teardrop canopy erased entirely. Four 20 mm cannon in the wing and a rough silhouette made it a tool for low-level raids over occupied France in 1942 and 1943.
A step at the edge arises when paint gets under the edge of the film, or when the coat is sprayed all at once and too heavily. Both can be prevented by technique, not by a better film.
The box holds two canopy masks, separated for the outer and the inner face of the glazing, two national insignia masks and supplementary decals. The framing of the early cockpit is intricate, so this is exactly where a mask pays off most: outlining by hand with that many edges would mean hours of work and one mistake that cannot be taken back. The other side of the same coin: the more complex the framing, the more it matters that the film really does belong to the canopy the builder is holding. A cut made for a different molding shows only at the moment when one frame comes out half a millimeter off and the whole cockpit looks crooked. A kit is not in the box.
