Die-cut masks for the cockpit glazing of the A-6 Intruder carrier attack aircraft in 1:48 scale. They match the molding by Revell and Monogram and deal with the frames from outside and inside.
Responsibility details are not available.
Grumman built this carrier attack aircraft around the requirement that the crew should be able to hit a target at night and in any weather. The pilot and the navigator therefore sat side by side, slightly staggered, so that both could see the instruments of the electronic system that gave the machine the nickname flying computer. Its service began over Southeast Asia and ended only after Operation Desert Storm; the last examples left the decks of aircraft carriers in 1997. The characteristic bulbous nose with the radar and the front part of the cockpit with its large area of glass are among the best-known silhouettes of naval aviation.
The glazing for two crew members side by side is unusually extensive on a model and the frames are not the same width everywhere. Cutting tape by hand into such a pattern takes more time than the spraying itself, and every cut risks the knife slipping over a rounded corner. The die-cut parts from this set divide the area exactly according to the real framing and are applied in order from the largest piece to the smallest.
When building a naval machine it helps to mask the glazing before the fuselage is glued, because sanding dust gets into the cockpit easily. The rest of the glazing then only needs to be taped over for the time when the landing gear and the racks under the wing are being finished.
