Masks for the cockpit glazing of the British Lightning interceptor in the F Mk 6 version, 1:72 scale. The cut is figured for the Hasegawa kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Lightning was built around a single task: to get as high as possible as fast as possible. Its two Avon jet engines therefore do not sit side by side but one above the other in the rear fuselage, which gave the aircraft a narrow cross-section and an exceptional rate of climb. The F Mk 6 version received a cranked wing leading edge, a large ventral tank and the option of carrying auxiliary fuel tanks above the wing, which partly put right its perpetual shortage of range. With the Royal Air Force the last machines served until 1988 and their patrols over the North Sea are among the legends of the Cold War.
The glazing of the Lightning is small against its massive fuselage and the frames are thin. It is precisely on a cockpit like that which pre-cut film pays off most: cutting tape by hand for half-millimeter frames tends to be a lottery in 1:72. The film can also be lifted and shifted after it is laid on, so the position can be adjusted before the paint is reached for.
The gray finish of British interceptors lets the cockpit frame stand out, and an inaccuracy is therefore noticed at once on it. On a model standing on a shelf at eye level the cockpit is also the first place a visitor looks, and cleanly unmasked glass helps that impression more than hours spent on the details of the wheel wells.
