About product

The first Allied air victory in the west

On 8 September 1939, a week after the war broke out, a French fighter group flying this American type reported shooting down a German machine. It was the very first confirmed success of Allied aviation on the Western Front and it was scored by an aircraft France had bought out of necessity, because home production could not keep up.

Slower, and successful even so

In May and June 1940 this type was distinctly slower and less well armed than its main German opponent. It did, however, have excellent handling at low speeds, obedient behavior on the edge of a stall and an exceptionally strong all-metal airframe. French pilots therefore fought in the horizontal plane, into which they forced the enemy with a turn, and achieved disproportionately good results with it. Per aircraft committed, the groups flying this machine scored a greater share of victories than units with more modern home-built types.

Why reach for masks

The cockpit has a small but busy frame, and cutting tape by hand for it is needlessly nerve-racking work. Pre-cut film removes the problem: it is applied, sprayed and lifted off. The inner masking gives the frames color when you look into the pilot's space too, and the insignia masks replace applied marking with spraying, which leaves no glossy edge on a matte surface.

  • Before applying, check that the glass is free of scratches from sanding.
  • The color transition on the frame is improved by a light coat of the base.
  • Lift the film off at a sharp angle, not straight up.

FAQ

You will not. What is for sale are the films and decals; the model itself has to be bought separately.

Yes. Working with them is simpler than cutting tape by hand and the result tends to be cleaner the first time round.

A small overrun can be scraped off once dry with the point of a toothpick or a wooden stick so that the glass is not scratched.

The cut follows a particular kit. On differently designated versions of the same airframe the framing tends to be the same, but that can only be verified by offering it up to the part.
