About product

Masks for the cockpit of the Harrier GR.1 in 1:72 scale

The set is intended for modelers who build the British vertical takeoff attack aircraft in a small scale and want the boundary between the clear glass and the finish where the designer drew it. The shaping of the masks matches the geometry of the one-piece hinged canopy and of the fixed windscreen ahead of the pilot.

What made the GR.1 exceptional

The Harrier GR.1 entered line service with the Royal Air Force in 1969 and became the first combat-deployed vertical takeoff machine in the world. It grew out of the experimental P.1127 and Kestrel aircraft. The thrust came from a Pegasus engine with four rotating nozzles, through which the pilot directed the flow of gases downward or backward. The single-seat machine carried out attacks on ground targets and tactical reconnaissance and practiced moving out to dispersed sites in West Germany so as to survive a strike on permanent bases.

How to work with the masks

First wash the glazing in lukewarm water with dish soap and let it dry freely, so that the surface is not left greasy. Spray the frames first in the shade of the pilot's compartment interior and only then in the outer finish, otherwise the inner side of a frame will show through. Dose the paint in thin coats, because a heavy application likes to run under an edge. Uncover shortly after it has set, not after the finish has fully cured.

Who the set suits

  • builders of British Cold War equipment
  • those who never hit the frames with a brush
  • those interested in sharp edges of glazing
  • collectors of the Harrier family in a small scale

FAQ

It is not. These are the glazing masks on their own; the kit of the attack aircraft has to be obtained separately.

First in the shade of the cockpit interior, then in the outer finish of the fuselage. The frame then will not show through from inside.

Yes. The work calls mainly for patience, clean glazing and thin coats of paint.

Soon after the paint has set. A fully cured finish separates less easily.
