About product

The instrument panel under a clear bubble

The British designation Mustang IVA belonged to machines built in Dallas that the Royal Air Force received in the last phase of the war. They differed from the earlier versions in the bubble canopy, which replaced the framed cockpit and gave the pilot a view to the rear that the crews of older machines had not dreamed of.

Why that complicates the build

A bubble canopy has no frames to hide behind. The glass is a single clear area and beneath it lie the whole instrument panel, the control column, the seat and the armored headrest. Anyone who takes trouble over the interior will see all of it. Anyone who does not will see all of it too. The windscreen is meanwhile a separate part with a sharp frame, and it is exactly on its edge that it shows most whether the tape was cut by eye. The panel below it is also reflected in the sloping front glass, so unfinished work shows up twice.

What is in the box

Two canopy masks for both faces and two national insignia masks are supplied. The inner shapes make it possible to spray the frame of the windscreen from below so that it matches the color of the cockpit, while the camouflage continues on the outside. The insignia masks serve for spraying the roundels instead of applying decals.

A note on the build

It is best to fit the clear parts only after the interior has been painted and before the fuselage is sprayed. Lift the mask while the finish has only just dried, not after a week, by which time the edge of the paint has bonded to the shape and comes away with it.

  • The aircraft model is sold separately; there are only masks here.
  • The shapes are pre-cut and are taken off the backing sheet.
  • 1:32 scale means large areas of glass and zero tolerance for inaccuracy.

FAQ

The British services distinguished the machines by the factory and the propeller. Both versions already had the bubble canopy; the small differences lay in the equipment and the armament.

Yes. The windscreen is a separate clear part with a frame of its own and its shapes are included in the set along with the canopy.

Two pieces.

With an open cockpit it applies twice over. The inside of the frame is then directly visible and clear plastic with no paint gives away at once that the inner face was forgotten.
