About product

1:72 Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet canopy airbrush mask - a masking set from MH models

A masking set from MH models intended to cover the cockpit glazing on a model of the French and German Alpha Jet in 1:72 scale. The masks are stuck onto the clear part, which is then sprayed over with the color of the frames, and the masks are taken off; the frames thus come out exactly along the engraved lines and without laborious outlining by brush. It is not a kit but an accessory to a model.

The real subject

The Alpha Jet is a two-seat jet aircraft that came out of a joint French and German program by Dassault and Dornier. It first flew in the first half of the 1970s and serves in two main roles: as an advanced trainer and as a light attack aircraft. It has a high-wing layout with a swept wing, two jet engines on the sides of the fuselage and a tandem two-seat cockpit with markedly overhanging glazing. Besides its countries of origin it has flown and still flies with a number of further operators, including aerobatic teams.

Use and masking tips

Work through the panes of glazing one by one. Lift the piece carefully out of the sheet with the tip of a scalpel, offer it up to the clear part and press it into the engraved edges of the frame with the tip of a toothpick or the blunt side of a knife, so that no air is left under the edge. Cover the remaining glazed areas and the inside of the cockpit with a piece of masking tape. Spray in two steps - the shade of the interior of the frames first, and once that is dry the color of the external finish. Apply the coats thinly, so that no noticeable step appears on the edge of the mask. On a tandem cockpit with a large canopy it pays to go over the clear part with polishing compound before masking and to finish with a thin layer of clear varnish. Remove the mask with tweezers shortly after the paint has dried.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building jet trainers and attack aircraft in 1:72
  • Those who want sharp cockpit frames without outlining by hand
  • Builders of postwar European aircraft
  • Modelers working with an airbrush

This is not a model of the aircraft and not a kit. Paints, varnish and the base model are not included in the package.

FAQ

No, it is only a masking set for the cockpit glazing. An Alpha Jet model in 1:72 has to be bought separately.

Frames outlined by hand come out uneven in width and the paint easily gets onto the clear part. A mask follows the engraved edges of the part, so after spraying the frame comes out sharp and even.

The shade of the interior of the frames first, and once that is dry the color of the external finish. Apply both coats thinly, because otherwise a step appears on the edge of the mask.

Not with the normal procedure. Take the mask off with tweezers soon after the paint has dried, pulling at a slight angle rather than straight away from the part.
