Masks for the land-based Hawker Hurricane Mk I in 1:48. A cut for the outer surface of the glazing, two sheets for the roundels and supplementary decals in one package.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Hawker Hurricane was, when it came about, a compromise between the old school and the new. The framework of the fuselage was a welded tubular truss covered with fabric at the rear, while the wing and the nose already belonged to the modern age. That seeming backwardness turned out to be an advantage: fabric shot through could be patched overnight and mechanics returned machines to service faster than with all-metal fighters. During the Battle of Britain more kills fell to Hurricanes than to all the other British weapons put together.
Early examples carried a cockpit canopy laced with a net of bars, which in the hangars was called a birdcage. During 1939 it was replaced in production by a form with a few wide panels, except that at the front both forms flew side by side and older machines kept their cage. One more change followed immediately: a thick plate of armored glass was bolted onto the outside of the windscreen, which raised the outline above the engine cowling and created a new edge that did not exist in the original shape at all. Anyone building a particular machine must therefore first determine which point of production it belongs to, and only then reach for the film.
Spraying a roundel through a mask gives the circle a crisp edge with no carrier film, and the paint stays level with the surrounding coat.
