A set of masks for the glazing of the two-seat training Lightning in the T.4 version in 1:48 scale, cut for both sides of the cockpit. Adapted to the kit from Sword.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Lightning was the only supersonic fighter the British designed and carried through to series production entirely on their own. Its Avon engines did not lie side by side but one above the other, which produced a tall, narrow fuselage with a circular air intake and a cone in the middle. The T.4 version received a cockpit for two seated side by side so that the instructor could watch the pupil's hands; the wider nose took away part of the original radar equipment because of it. The machine first took to the air in this form in 1959 and stayed with the training units of the Royal Air Force throughout the type's service.
The wide canopy of the two-seat version has frames running obliquely, and adhesive tape wrinkles in a curve like that. Die-cut film gets round this problem: every frame has its own piece, which drops onto the part in a single position. Work that takes an evening with a knife is done in a few minutes.
Before application it is recommended to wash the clear part in lukewarm water with a drop of detergent and let it dry freely, so that no greasy print is left on the surface. The mask then holds throughout the spraying and does not let paint bleed under it. The set holds nothing else; the builder chooses the kit and the paints to suit. Anyone who wants the cockpit open will appreciate that the frames stay clean on the sliding section as well.
