About product

The Sturmvogel, a jet fighter rearmed for bombs

The Messerschmitt Me 262 in the A-2 form was the bomber offshoot of the first jet combat aircraft put into production service. Under the forward part of the fuselage it carried racks for two bombs and its crews were ordered to attack ground targets at a time when the type was of far greater worth as an interceptor. The swept wing and the pair of engine nacelles under it gave the aircraft a speed that piston machines could not match.

Two completely different tasks in one piece of glazing

The cockpit here divides into two parts, each masked differently. The windscreen is put together from flat panes and in the middle of it sits a thick plate of armored glass. That has a thickness and a shade of its own and its edge has to be led exactly, otherwise it dissolves optically into the frame. Behind the windscreen follows a cover hung on a side hinge, which swings open sideways. The transition between the fixed and the hinged part is broken and the edge there crosses two planes at once, so that is exactly where hand-cut tape usually gives way.

What is in the box

  • masks for the glazing in two sets, for the outer and for the inner side
  • two sets of masks for spraying the national crosses

Strips cut to a template hold the same width along their whole length, which on the flat panes of the windscreen is seen at once. The carrier is a yellow film with an adhesive that peels off once the paint has dried and leaves no glossy film on the clear area. Spraying the insignia through a mask has the advantage over a decal that the paint settles into the same plane as the camouflage finish and creates no step.

FAQ

The windscreen is assembled from flat panes and carries a plate of armored glass, so it is masked along straight edges. The rear cover is hung on a side hinge and has a more curved profile, which is why the set carries separate pieces for it.

It does not. The insignia with this set are applied by spraying through a cut mask, so the resulting surface matches the surrounding camouflage.

The frame of a cockpit tends to be painted a different color inside from outside. Without the inner masks the outer camouflage would get inside and a look into the cockpit would give it away.

It is not. This is a separate accessory intended for a kit of this type in 1:48 scale.
