The middle ADVANCED level of kabuki masks for the F-4B Phantom II in 1:72 scale. A wider scope than the entry variant for the same machine.
Responsibility details are not available.
Nobody mistakes a Phantom: the wingtips raised upward, the tailplane drooped downward, a massive nose full of radar. It was not a matter of aesthetics but of an aerodynamic compromise that the designers arrived at only after wind tunnel tests. The B version was the first in which this shape took its final form, and with it the aircraft launched from the decks of Forrestal and Midway class ships throughout the 1960s.
ADVANCED stands between the entry and the top level. Exactly what has been added is not stated here.
The cockpit of a Phantom has two separate canopies with a fixed frame between them, so there are twice as many places where the paint can get under the tape as on a single-seat fighter. Both sections are also shaped into a bulged curve that straight tape cannot embrace without a fold. A paper cutout adapts to the curve by itself when you press it down from the center toward the edges.
After fitting the masks, leave the model lying for a while and then look it over under side light. A lifted corner that is invisible in ordinary lighting will cast a shadow in sharp light and you will manage to press it down before the paint runs under it.
Do not keep a removed mask for next time; the paper loses its tack after a single use. Do, however, set aside the sheet with the unused pieces until the model is finished; when repairing a small overspray even a scrap you did not originally need comes in handy.
