Masks for the extensive glazing of the Lockheed Hudson patrol aircraft in the Mk I and Mk II versions, 1:72 scale. The cut matches the MPM kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Hudson came about by converting a successful twin-engine Lockheed transport for the needs of the Royal Air Force shortly before the war broke out. A glazed nose for the navigator, a dorsal gun turret and space for a bomb bay made it a usable machine for Coastal Command. It is the Hudson that holds one of the most unusual successes of the war at sea: in August 1941 it forced the crew of a damaged German submarine to capitulate and they then surrendered to a naval patrol. The Mk I and Mk II versions differed mainly in their propellers and were the first to reach Britain.
On this type masking is not a matter of comfort but of time: the glazed nose and the side windows of the cabin are added to the pilots' canopy. Pre-cut parts shorten the preparation to a fraction and give all the frames the same width. Uneven frame width is the most common reason an otherwise successful model of a twin-engine machine looks coarse, and it is a flaw that arises in the last minutes of the build.
The Hudson is among the machines on which honest work on the glazing shows at first glance, because it has more glazed areas than most single-engine aircraft put together. Anyone building the model in Coastal Command colors will appreciate that the boundary of the finish can be led across the whole fuselage without a break.
