The basic grade of the masking set for fighter and reconnaissance Phantoms, prepared for Hasegawa models in 1:48 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
This twin-engine giant from McDonnell first flew in May 1958 and over two decades was built in more than five thousand examples. It served with the US Navy, the US Marine Corps and the US Air Force, and outside the United States it was taken up by a number of other countries. The reconnaissance version with its camera nose carried the letter R before the type designation and stayed in service with many air arms long after the combat versions had gone.
The set is prepared to serve the fighter and the reconnaissance versions alike, because the shape of the canopy is the same on both. That is worth having for anyone who builds this family repeatedly and does not want a separate mask set for each version. The designation in brackets says which kit maker the dimensions are based on.
The large panes on a model in 1:48 scale invite quick work, and yet it pays to press every piece down all the way round. Apply the cockpit shade first, then the external camouflage. Take them off gently and parallel to the surface. Any adhesive residue, if there is any at all, comes away with a cotton swab and a little alcohol.
This machine was one of the few aircraft used at the same time by all three main American air arms, and a single type designation across them settled only at the beginning of the 1960s. In older publications you will therefore come across several different ways of writing the same type.
Without a kit the set has no use; the model itself is not part of the delivery.
