The mask set 1:48 Fairey Fulmar Mk.II from the Eduard brand serves for a clean spray of the frames of the glazing of the two-seat carrier fighter.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is not a model of an aircraft but an accessory for one. The pre-cut shapes follow the outlines of the frames of the pilot's canopy, so the laborious cutting of strips out of tape and judging the width of a frame by eye fall away. The maker is Eduard, a Czech firm from Obrnice near Most, which supplies masks for a whole range of aircraft models.
The Fairey Fulmar was a British two-seat carrier fighter of the Fleet Air Arm. The Mk.II series was given a more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin 30 power unit and differed from the first series in details of equipment. In the wing the Fulmar carried a battery of 7.7 mm machine guns, and behind the pilot sat an observer, who handled navigation over the sea. The machines escorted convoys in the Mediterranean and also served over the Indian Ocean.
The glazing of the Fulmar is long and highly broken up, so it pays to start from the places that will be hardest to reach once the fuselage is closed. Spray the frames first with the shade of the interior and only then with the outer camouflage; the division of colors then looks believable even seen from close up. Apply the paint in thin coats, as a heavy spray is inclined to run under an edge. Take a mask off while the paint is freshly dry, not after several days.
