I normally don't need masks but the Skyhawks canopy is really small.

Try one on a 1/72 scale aircraft that has a greenhouse canopy. Dauntless, Rufe, He-111, Helldiver, Devastator, etc…

Re: 1/48 Hasegawa A-4M Skyhawk
While I wait for parts or time to prime/paint, I went back to something that I can work on (yes I know I'm all over the place with my builds). After Magic Factory released their A-4M and the black and white jet is one of the options, I've seen it everywhere now. So I decided to change the jet I'm doing. One of the problems with that is the gun covers and a different tail tip. I was able to change them pretty easily.
