1:48 de Havilland Chipmunk T.10 TFace is an Eduard masking set in the TFace form, that is for covering the glazing from the inside as well as the outside. Intended for a model of the trainer aircraft in 1:48 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The TFace designation means that the sheet holds masks for both sides of the glazing: an outer set for the frames visible from outside and an inner set, which you stick on from the other side before the canopy is seated on the fuselage. Thanks to that the frames come out painted on the inside as well — exactly as it looks on a real aircraft, where the inner side of the canopy is finished in the color of the cockpit. It is not a kit and not a glued part, but an aid for spraying.
The DHC-1 Chipmunk is a Canadian single-engine low-wing aircraft with tandem seats, brought into service with the Royal Air Force under the designation T.10 as a basic trainer. Its long divided canopy runs over both stations, so a lot of it is visible on a model and the interior and the inner side of the frames are clearly apparent once the build is finished. On a type with a cabin as glazed as this, masking from both sides shows at first glance.
Work from the back forward: stick on the inner masks first and the outer ones only afterwards, so that they do not get in each other's way. Degrease the glazing beforehand and let it dry. Lift the masks off with tweezers and press them down with a toothpick, so that no air is left under the edge. Spray in thin coats — a heavy coat will run under. Fill the cockpit with cotton wool before spraying the inside. Take the masks off while the paint is freshly dry; the edge then breaks more cleanly and will not pull the paint off.
The set holds masking material only. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
