Landing gear bay masks for a 1:48 model of the American Republic F-105 Thunderchief fighter-bomber.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Republic F-105 Thunderchief was an American fighter-bomber, in its day the largest and heaviest single-seat machine of its kind. It could carry bombs inside the fuselage, it had a swept wing, and the whole airframe was built for a fast run-in at low altitude. The most widespread was the single-seat D version; the two-seat machines later gave rise to specialized aircraft for suppressing air defenses. The nickname Thud was given to the aircraft by its own crews.
The masks cover the openings of the landing gear bays so that no overspray reaches them while you spray the fuselage and the wings. The inside of the bay keeps the shade you gave it and the edge of the opening stays crisp. The set is intended for 1:48 models of the F-105.
Spray the inside of the bays first and let it dry thoroughly. Then degrease the surface around the opening, seat the mask and press the edges down with a blunt toothpick so that paint cannot creep underneath. Spray the outer surfaces thinly and in several passes. Remove the mask shortly after spraying, while the coat has not fully hardened, pulling it back over itself at a sharp angle. Several F-105 kits have been released in this scale and their bays differ, so dry-fit the mask before sticking it down and check that the shape matches yours.
For modelers of American jets in the larger scale who want clean landing gear bays without lengthy masking with tape. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
