About product

Aero L-159 ALCA masking set in 1:144 - Peewit

A set of precisely cut self-adhesive masks for the model of the Czech Aero L-159 ALCA light combat aircraft in 1:144 scale. It is not a kit but an accessory for the build. In a scale this small, cutting the canopy frames by hand is practically impossible - the frames are as thin as a hair and any inaccuracy shows immediately on the finished model. A pre-shaped mask made of low-tack tape solves the problem and leaves no adhesive on the glazing once it is peeled off.

The real subject

The Aero L-159 ALCA is a Czech subsonic aircraft developed from the proven line of L-39 and L-59 trainers. The single-seat version serves as a light attack and reconnaissance aircraft, the two-seater mainly for training. Besides the Czech Air Force, the machine has reached foreign operators and has been used in live operations as well. Its characteristic features are a slim fuselage with a large bubble canopy and wingtip tanks.

Use and tips

Degrease the clear part and let it dry. Lift the mask out with tweezers, lay it in place and press the edges down with a wooden stick, for instance. In 1:144 scale it pays to work with good lighting and a magnifier. Spray the frame shade first and then the outer color - always in thin coats, so that no step forms at the edge. Peel the mask off once it is dry, with pointed tweezers at a shallow angle.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of models in the small 1:144 scale
  • Anyone interested in contemporary Czech Air Force equipment
  • Modelers who want accurate canopy framing without cutting by hand
  • Anyone who finds masking small parts difficult

This is an accessory for building a model. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. This is only a masking set for the clear areas; the model is bought separately.

Yes, most of all there. The canopy frames are so thin that cutting tape by hand usually comes out inaccurate, and it shows on the finished model.

With tweezers and under good lighting, ideally with a magnifier. The edges are pressed down with a wooden stick so that paint cannot seep under the mask.

A Czech subsonic light combat and training aircraft derived from the L-39 and L-59 line, operated among others by the Czech Air Force.
