Stencils for the long cockpit glazing of the Australian CAC Wirraway trainer, for a model in 1:72 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Wirraway from the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation grew out of an American trainer design that Australia acquired under license and developed into a form of its own. The name comes from the language of the first inhabitants and means a challenge. In 1942 these school aircraft found themselves in fighting they had never been built for, and even so, at the end of December one of them scored a hit over New Guinea that Australia still talks about today. More than seven hundred were built in all.
The two-seat cockpit runs over almost half the length of the fuselage and is divided into a row of rectangular panes with sliding sections. In 1:72 scale each frame works out at a few tenths of a millimeter, so the difference between glazing that was carefully masked and glazing traced by hand is plain at once from the side.
Spray the masked cockpit first in the interior shade, then in primer and finally in the exterior camouflage finish. The interior coat makes sure the frames are not translucent when seen from inside, and the glazing gains a depth that an exterior coat alone can never give it.
