About product

The TFace mask set for the Fairey Gannet in 1:48 scale

This is not a kit but a mask set for a model of the British Fairey Gannet carrier aircraft in the AS.1 and AS.4 versions in 1:48 scale from the Czech firm Eduard. The marking TFace is the maker's abbreviation for the version that deals with both sides of the glazing, the outer and the inner one. On the Gannet this is especially useful: the cockpit is long, divided into three parts, and the inside is clearly visible through the large glazed areas. The manufacturer keeps the simpler version for the outside alone as a separate item.

The real subject

The Fairey Gannet was a British carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm. It first flew at the close of the 1940s, entered service in the middle of the 1950s and was powered by the Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba turboprop unit, a pair of engines coupled into one installation, which turned contra-rotating propellers. The crew could shut one half of the powerplant down in flight and so stay over a patrol area considerably longer. A search radar radome extended below the fuselage, three members of the crew sat in separate compartments one behind the other, and the wing folded twice over for stowage on deck. The AS.1 was the first production version, and the AS.4 was given a more powerful powerplant.

How the mask set is used

The inner masks are placed while the cockpit is still open, the outer ones only before the opaque paint is sprayed. The surface should be clean and degreased and the edges carefully pressed down, so that no paint runs under them.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want the frames of the glazing right from inside the cockpit as well.
  • Builders of British carrier equipment of the 1950s in 1:48 scale.
  • Anyone who builds a model with parts of the canopy open.

FAQ

It is the maker's abbreviation for a mask set that counts on the outer and the inner side of the glazing alike.

The cockpit is long and divided into three parts with large glazed areas, so the inside is clearly visible and the inner side of the frames is on show.

While the cockpit is still open, because after that you can no longer reach the inner side of the canopy.

The name gives the AS.1 and AS.4 versions, that is the anti-submarine variants with a different powerplant.
