About product

Painting the F-89 landing gear bays in small scale

A painting aid that covers the landing gear bays of the F-89 Scorpion interceptor in the D and J versions. It is useful wherever the inside of the landing gear is to get a different shade from the surrounding skin and the boundary is to look like a precisely drawn line. The shapes of the masks match the landing gear bays of the Revell and Hasegawa kits.

An air-defense machine

The Scorpion served with the Air Defense Command of the United States as a machine able to intervene by day and by night and in bad weather. The seats of the pilot and the weapons system operator lay on one axis, which gave the aircraft an elongated nose. The best-known chapter of its career remains the J version, modified to carry an unguided rocket with a nuclear warhead, the only type that ever actually fired such a weapon in a live test. The last examples ended their service with Air National Guard units.

Painting advice

Light shades inside the bays hold better on a surface that you have evened out with a primer beforehand. Spray rather at lower pressure and from the edge toward the center, so that the paint is not forced under the edge of the mask. Once it has dried, lift the pieces with tweezers pulled at an angle rather than straight up, and the coat will not tear away.

Who the aid is for

  • builders of American interceptors of the 1950s
  • modelers who want a clean transition of shades on a small area
  • anyone interested in the era when fighters were built around a radar
  • anyone who prefers masking with a sheet to masking with tape

FAQ

According to the name it is meant for the F-89D and the F-89J.

The inside of the landing gear usually has a different shade from the skin, and the boundary between them is hard to keep straight by hand.

As soon as the paint has set but has not yet fully hardened; the edge then stays crisp.
