A sheet of self-adhesive masks in 1:48 for the North American P-51B Mustang. According to the manufacturer's description it covers the cockpit glazing from outside and from inside and adds one set of national insignia masks.
Responsibility details are not available.
The North American P-51B is the turning point of the whole type. The original Mustang with an Allison engine was excellent low down and dull high up, so it became a reconnaissance and ground-attack machine. Only the British Merlin, built under license at Packard, moved it into the altitudes where bomber formations flew. With auxiliary tanks it managed escort deep over the continent and in 1944 it became the machine that took the space away from the defenders' fighters. One thing, though, remained from earlier days: a high fuselage spine behind the cockpit and with it a poor view to the rear, which bothered pilots so much that British squadrons had a bulged sliding canopy fitted.
The most frequent flaw in masking is not a badly laid piece but paint that has run under the edge. The vinyl does seat, but once applied it holds only as much as the pressure given to it. That is why every edge is run over with a round tool after being laid down, the end of a brush or a sanded toothpick will do, in the direction from the surface of the mask outward onto the glass. The adhesive is thereby spread into full contact and the edge of the paint then comes out as crisp as a cut.
It pays off especially on the bars, because the framed cockpit of the Mustang in the B version has narrow strips of glass between them and any run-under shows on them immediately.
