About product

A flying cannon for the direct support of troops

Cut stencils for the cockpit framing of the American attack aircraft in 1:48 scale. They cover the outer surface of the glazing and and according to the name the shape matches the canopy of the Hobby Boss kit.

A machine built around a weapon

The Fairchild Republic A-10 grew out of a requirement of the late 1960s for an aircraft that would withstand fire from below and could circle over a battlefield for a long time. A straight wing of large area gives it a low stalling speed and agility near the ground, and engines set high at the rear take in less dirt from unpaved strips. The twin vertical tail surfaces stay effective even if the machine loses one of them in combat, and that was not a theoretical consideration: aircraft damaged in exactly that way did come back from combat sorties.

Painting advice

First spray the frames in the shade of the interior and only then with the camouflage finish. After laying the stencils on, run a blunt toothpick over their edges once more, so that no air pocket is left anywhere. Anyone working with a brush should always draw from the edge of the stencil inwards, otherwise the paint will be pushed under it. It pays to try the placement dry first; the position of the frame is then easier to find and nothing is spoiled. Do not direct the airflow at an angle around the edges, as the mist would get where it should not.

Who the set is for

  • modelers of modern American combat aircraft
  • for a build with the cockpit closed or slightly open
  • those who want a straight frame edge with no touching up afterwards
  • as a saving of time against cutting tape by hand

FAQ

The name gives it without a mark for both sides, so count on the outer framing. There is a separate variant for the reverse.

The same color is used as on the cockpit interior. On modern American attack aircraft that is a dark gray.

Ideally shortly after the last coat has set. In a fully cured layer the edge tears away more easily.
