About product

The teardrop canopy of the Mustang and what masking does with it

The P-51D version is the form of the Mustang most people picture: a cut-down fuselage decking and a one-piece teardrop cockpit cover in place of the earlier framed greenhouse. The pilot could thereby see to the rear practically without restriction, and it is precisely this change that makes a model in a large scale a demanding piece. The clear cover has almost no framing, so every drop of paint on the glass shows and every overrun on the curve of the windscreen spoils the whole impression.

Where the film saves the most work

The center of gravity of the masks lies at the three-part windscreen with its flat armored plate and at the rim by which the cover seats on the fuselage. Die-cut film holds a crisp edge even on curved glass, where tape would inevitably form folds. The inner set allows the frame to be colored from the inner view as well, which on such a transparent cockpit is noticed at once.

What is in the box

  • film for the cockpit cover, one for the view from outside and another for the inside
  • three sets of masks for the national insignia, that is the stars in bars on the wing and the fuselage
  • decals complementing the masking part of the set
  • the material can still be shifted after being applied, before it is pressed into the edge

A star sprayed through a mask sits in the paint with no glossy edge, so once matted down there is no telling where the insignia begins. On the sizeable area of the wing in 1:32 scale that shows more than on small models. Before pulling the film off, let the paint flash off and pull it over its own edge so that it does not lift the finish.

FAQ

The star in bars was on both sides of the fuselage and on the wing, and a spare comes in handy in case the first attempt does not work out.

No. The set is cut for the teardrop cover of the P-51D version. The earlier forms of the Mustang with the framed greenhouse have a completely different shape and the film would not fit them.

Press the film down firmly around its whole perimeter with a blunt tool and spray thin coats from a greater distance. One heavy coat all at once is the most common reason why paint bleeds.
