About product

The F-94C Starfire in 1:48 scale and the definition of its landing gear bays

The set of thin self-adhesive templates is cut to the shape of the openings into which the landing gear of this machine is stowed. It serves to make the boundary between the inside of the bay and the surrounding skin come out crisp and straight, with no paint running over the edge.

The last Starfire was an interceptor without gun armament

The Lockheed F-94C grew out of the T-33 trainer line and became the first production American fighter with an engine fitted with an afterburner. The C version got a new thinner wing, a strengthened fuselage and a radar in the nose. Its weapons consisted solely of small-caliber unguided rockets, some in a ring around the nose and others in pods on the leading edge. In the second half of the 1950s these aircraft guarded the American air frontiers with Air Defense Command.

How to paint the wheel bays

On jets of that period the insides of the bays are usually set off from the lower surface of the fuselage, so it is worth spraying them separately and only then closing the open areas off. Work in thin coats; pressing around the perimeter with a finger improves the crispness of the edge. Lift the template while the paint is still fresh, pulling it at an angle.

Who the set suits

  • builders of American jets of the early Cold War in 1:48
  • anyone who wants a crisp transition without tracing it by brush
  • modelers with an airbrush who care about detail on the underside
  • anyone interested in adding air-defense machines to a display case

FAQ

No. It is a painting aid used when finishing an airframe that is already built.

It is prepared for 1:48 scale, which is given in the name.

The inner shade first; once it has dried, close the openings off and only then carry on with the outer surface.

The outlines are cut out in advance, so the work with curved shapes falls away and the edge comes out the same all the way around.
