A masking sheet for the glazing of the two-seat trainer Skyhawk in 1:48 scale, for both sides of the cockpit. The cut comes from the shape of the Hasegawa kit.

The Douglas A-4 went into history as the smallest and lightest carrier attack machine the US Navy ever introduced. It was so compact that it did without folding wings, which saved weight and space in the hangar. The trainer version with a lengthened fuselage and a second seat came about so that a pilot could learn the work above a deck before landing on one alone for the first time. The instructor sat higher behind him under a lengthened canopy and looked over his shoulder. It was these machines that served longest in the squadrons, in many places long after the single-seat versions had gone. They also flew with foreign users and in the adversary role for air combat training.
The lengthened canopy has more frames than the single-seat variant and its rear part rises into a characteristic hump. The cut masks follow that division including the transition between the two cockpits, where work with tape by hand usually ends in an uneven line.
They are applied from the outer and the inner side. Besides the cockpit, the discs included come in useful on the wheel rims, so that the tires stay in a different shade. The procedure is simple: first the whole wheel is sprayed dark, then the disc is fitted and the shade of the rim is sprayed over it. Trainer machines also often carried conspicuous orange bands, on which a sharp edge is noticed at first glance.
