Cut stencils for the cockpit cover of the jet Heinkel He 162 in 1:48 scale. The sheet is prepared for the Dragon kit and contains shapes for both sides of the clear parts.
Responsibility details are not available.
In the autumn of 1944 the German command announced a competition for a simple jet fighter that could be manufactured from scarce materials and operated by a pilot with minimal training. Heinkel submitted a design within a few weeks and the finished machine flew in December of the same year. A large part of the airframe was of wood, the wing had anhedral on the outer sections and the engine sat untypically on top of the spine of the fuselage, right behind the pilot. It took part in the fighting only marginally, but it remained one of the most interesting designs of the end of the war.
The canopy on this type is fairly low and hinges to the side. The frames are small and lie close together, so when outlined by hand they easily merge into one vague line. A stencil holds the edge where it is meant to be and saves repeated going over and polishing.
Clean the clear part of grease, let it dry and only then transfer the individual shapes. It pays to start from the largest piece and align the smaller ones to it. The inner shapes come into play when you are building the model with the cover hinged open. Direct the spray square to the surface, so that paint does not run under the edge of the film, and once dry take the stencils off while the layer is not yet completely cured.
