About product

The teardrop canopy changed the fighter and the air war

The D version received a cut-down fuselage spine and a molded teardrop canopy, which opened up the pilot's view to the rear. That advantage came at a price: the reduced side area of the rear worsened directional stability, so a low dorsal fin was added in production and older examples received it retrospectively at the units. The armament grew to six large-caliber machine guns mounted upright in the wing, which removed the belt jams the previous version had suffered from.

Escort all the way to Berlin

With drop tanks under the wing the fighter reached such a range that it could stay with the bomber formations for the whole way into the heart of Germany and back again. That was the part of the war the earlier types could not manage. After 1945 the machine did not go for scrap: in Korea it returned as an attack aircraft in support of ground troops, and in the armed forces of Latin America it served into the early eighties.

The contents and working with them

The enclosed films are pre-cut to the frames of the canopy. The outer set serves during spraying of the camouflage, the inner one is applied from inside so that the frame does not stay transparent on the cockpit side. The insignia masks make it possible to spray the American stars in a rectangular field straight onto the skin.

  • The base has to be dry, free of fingerprints and free of polish residue.
  • Spray the color of the frame first and only then the camouflage of the fuselage.
  • Lift the insignia mask off from the center toward the edges so that the edge does not tear.

FAQ

No, the package consists only of self-adhesive masks and decals. Order the Mustang kit in 1:48 scale separately.

One set protects the glass while spraying from outside, the other is applied from the inner side. Without it the frames would stay colorless when you look into the cockpit and the build would lose credibility.

Best shortly after the paint has dried, with pointed tweezers and a pull at an angle to the side. A dried hard layer may otherwise peel at the edge.

It is not. The older versions have a greenhouse canopy with different framing and the cut of the film will not fit them.
