About product

The cockpit frames of the Delta Dagger in forty-eighth scale

Painting stencils cut to the clear parts of the F-102A. They follow the lines of the frames exactly, so the spraying gets a sharp edge even where a frame breaks or runs into a curve. The name of the item gives which kit they are intended for.

The Deuce: the first production delta of the air defense

The F-102A was the first supersonic machine with a triangular wing to reach combat units. The prototype originally could not exceed the speed of sound and only a rebuild of the fuselage according to the area rule helped, after which it received the characteristic waisting at the midsection. It carried its armament internally, in a weapons bay under the fuselage, and an onboard fire-control system guided it. The machines patrolled over North America, served in Europe and in Southeast Asia and finished their service with the squadrons of the National Guard.

What causes trouble when masking

  • The windscreen has faceted surfaces with a narrow central brace running between them.
  • The hinged section of the canopy is tall and its frame curves to the sides.
  • The boundary between the glazing and the spine of the fuselage is not straight and ordinary tape breaks.
  • Bleed forms easily around the frames and is visible on a clear surface.

Who the set is worth it for

It suits anyone who is building an interceptor with a long cockpit and does not want to spend an evening cutting strips with a scalpel. The result is the same on both sides of the model, which with masking by hand can hardly be guaranteed. The stencils also help to keep the clear surface free of fingerprints, because it is handled less.

FAQ

They cover the clear areas of the glazing and uncover only the framing that is to be sprayed. The spraying then ends exactly at the edge of the frame.

This form works with the outer side. If you want to paint the inside of the frames too, a second item for the same aircraft covers that.

The narrowing at the midsection came about through a revision according to the area rule. Without it the aircraft did not get past the speed of sound in level flight.
