Landing gear bay masks for a 1:72 model of the American Convair F-106 Delta Dart interceptor, cut for the Hasegawa kits.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Convair F-106 Delta Dart was an American interceptor built for air defense. It has a tailless delta wing, a slim fuselage with a tall fin and armament hidden inside the fuselage, so from the outside it looks unusually smooth. It stayed in service for a long time and among modelers it counts as one of the icons of the Cold War.
The masks cover the openings of the landing gear bays so that no overspray reaches them while you spray the fuselage and the wings. The inside of the bay keeps the shade you gave it and the edge of the opening stays crisp. That helps especially with smooth metallic coats, where every speck of dirt around the bay shows. The cut follows the shapes of the bays on the 1:72 Delta Dart kits from Hasegawa.
Spray the inside of the bays and let it dry thoroughly. Then degrease the surface around the opening, seat the mask and press the edges down with a blunt toothpick so that paint cannot creep underneath. Spray the outer surfaces thinly and in several passes. Remove the mask shortly after spraying, while the coat has not fully hardened, pulling it back over itself at a sharp angle. With metallic coats it is better not to delay the removal, because their surface is sensitive to fingerprints.
For modelers of American jets in 1:72 scale who want clean landing gear bays without lengthy masking with tape. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
