About product

The Warthog with the canopy covered from both sides

A set of shapes for spraying the cockpit frames of the American A-10 attack aircraft in 1:48 scale. It covers the face and the reverse of the glazing, so the framing looks convincing even when you look into the cockpit. The cut matches the Italeri kit, which you will find in the name of the item.

What makes the Thunderbolt II exceptional

The whole machine grew around a seven-barrel 30 mm rotary cannon: the designers started with the weapon and only then did the airframe grow around it. The pilot is protected by a bath of titanium plates, and a pair of turbofan engines sits high above the rear fuselage, where the wing and the twin fins partly shield them. The teardrop glazing gives a view in almost every direction, because in an attack from low altitude the pilot needs to see the target right below him.

What to watch out for

It is that bubble that tends to be unpleasant when painting. The curve of the windscreen cannot be outlined with one piece of tape and the seating strip runs in a slight bend along its whole length. Lay the shapes onto a degreased and dry part and press from the center toward the edges. Apply the paint thinly and nothing will settle under the edge, and uncover while the finish has not yet fully cured. Do not put a shape back once lifted; the second time it will not seat into a corner as exactly. And before you let the air through, make sure that no gap shows anywhere between the frame and the edge.

Who it suits

  • builders who leave the cockpit open
  • for models with a carefully turned out interior
  • everyone for whom cutting tape by hand takes more time than the rest of the build
  • as practice in sharp transitions on curved glazing

FAQ

With an open cockpit the inside of the frame is visible. If it stays transparent, it gives away even an otherwise well-built model.

The shapes follow the glazing of the kit given in the name of the item. Another mold has the canopy divided differently, so a match cannot be promised.

The shade of the cockpit first, the exterior finish once it has dried. The reverse order lets the interior show through a thin coat.
