About product

1:72 Douglas TA-4J Skyhawk - Dead Design masking set

Pre-cut self-adhesive masks for a model of the Douglas TA-4J Skyhawk in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit or a spare part but an accessory for spraying the glazing and the frames. The extent of the package is stated on the box of the set.

The real subject

The TA-4J is the two-seat training version of the Skyhawk. Against the single-seat forms it has a lengthened fuselage and, above all, markedly longer cockpit glazing, divided into several adjoining parts for the two seats one behind the other. That is the crucial difference for masking: instead of one short canopy there is a long assembly where every inaccuracy adds up and ends up visible as a crooked frame.

Masking a long divided canopy

Work consistently from the nose backward and never skip a segment - every part lines up by the one before it. Stick the masks onto the fixed frames between the individual sections first; those set the spacing and the rest is filled in between them. Offer each mask up dry, check it against the engraved lines and only then press it home with a toothpick from the middle outward. Once the whole cockpit is masked, look at the model from the side: the frames should make a regular row, and if one is out of line, put it right before spraying. Lay the paint on thinly and take the masks off at a shallow angle before the finish has cured.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the two-seat TA-4J in 1:72 scale.
  • Those dealing with a long divided canopy of several segments.
  • Builders who care about a regular row of frames seen from the side.
  • Modelers working with an airbrush.

It is not a kit. The package holds only the masking set; the model, paints and glue are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No, it is solely a masking set. The model, the paints and the glue you obtain separately.

No. The TA-4J has a two-seat cockpit with a markedly longer and differently divided canopy; masks for single-seat versions do not fit, and the reverse holds too.

From the nose backward and without skipping. Onto the fixed frames between the segments first, as those set the spacing, and only then onto the areas of glass.

The exact number and the breakdown of the contents are stated on the box of the set.
