This item is not a kit but a mask set for a model of the British Fairey Gannet carrier-borne aircraft in the AS.1 and AS.4 versions in 1:48 from the Art Scale brand. The shapes match the glazing frames of the Airfix kit, so masking off by hand falls away. The marking one-sided means that the set deals with the outer side of the glazing. If you want the frames to be visible from inside the cockpit as well, a double-sided variant exists for the same type, and on the Gannet with its long three-part cockpit that is no trivial difference.
The Fairey Gannet was a British carrier-borne anti-submarine aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm. It first flew at the end of the 1940s and entered service in the middle of the 1950s. It was powered by the Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba turboprop unit, in reality a pair of engines coupled into one assembly which turned contra-rotating propellers. In flight the crew could shut one half of the powerplant down and so stay economically over a patrol area for considerably longer. A search radar radome extended under the fuselage, the cockpit was divided for a crew of three and the wing folded twice over for stowage on deck. The AS.1 was the first production version and the AS.4 received a more powerful powerplant.
The masks are placed on the glazing before spraying, onto a clean and degreased surface. Press the edges down carefully so that paint does not creep under them, and remove them best of all soon after drying, while the layer is still flexible.
