Masking set 1:144 De Havilland Sea Venom FAW.21/22/53/ECM.21/TT.53 from the manufacturer Peewit serves to cover the glazing of a model during spraying. It is an accessory for building, not a kit of the aircraft.
Responsibility details are not available.
A masking set in 1:144 scale for the carrier-borne version of the De Havilland Venom, that is the Sea Venom. The name covers several designations at once: the FAW.21 and FAW.22 in British naval service, the FAW.53 in the Australian form, the ECM.21 reconnaissance and jamming conversion and the TT.53 target-towing version. The set holds pre-cut masking shapes for the glazing and is used before spraying, so the cockpit frames come out sharp and with no touching up.
The Sea Venom was a carrier-borne all-weather fighter aircraft with a characteristic twin-boom tail structure and a short fuselage nacelle. Unlike the single-seat Venom it had a crew of two seated side by side, so the canopy is noticeably wider and flatter. It is precisely this wide canopy with fairly dense framing that is the most unpleasant place to mask in a small scale, and that is why on this subject it pays to reach for ready-made masks. The aircraft was in service from the middle of the 1950s and its individual variants differed mainly in equipment and role, not in outline.
First wash the glazing and let it dry completely so the mask adheres. Transfer the mask, press it down and smooth the edges with a blunt tool. The recommended procedure is to spray the frame in the color of the interior, then the primer and only then the camouflage. Take the mask off as soon as the paint has dried and preferably at a sharp angle, not straight up. On twin-boom aircraft take care that overspray does not run into the joint of the nacelle and the wing, where it is then difficult to put right.
This is an accessory for building. The kit of the aircraft, paints and glue are not included in the package. Please check the match with your kit beforehand.
