Douglas A-4B/C/L Skyhawk 1:48, canopy frame masks are pre-shaped for the glazing of the early Skyhawk, so the frame edges come out sharp even without cutting tape by hand.
Responsibility details are not available.
Shaped masks for the frames of the windscreen and the sliding section of the canopy of the early Skyhawks in the A-4B, A-4C and A-4L versions. The kit they are cut for is given in the name of the item.
A requirement for a carrier-based attack machine was meant in the mid-1950s to lead to an aircraft weighing around thirteen tons. The designer Ed Heinemann delivered a machine barely half that, with a delta wing so short that it did not need folding tips, and with the landing gear pared to a minimum. The A-4B version brought in-flight refueling and a strengthened nose, the A-4C received equipment for flight in reduced visibility and the A-4L was a later conversion of the C for reserve units of the Navy and the Marine Corps. The nimbleness with which the machine moved about the deck earned it the nickname Scooter.
The cockpit of the early Skyhawk is low and set deep into the spine of the fuselage. The windscreen has a thick center post and sharply curved side panes run into it, while the sliding section bulges outwards. A strip cut by hand always lifts somewhere on a curve like that and the paint creeps under. A pre-shaped piece, by contrast, holds the line of the frame even where it breaks into the fuselage skin.
