1:144 Gloster Gladiator - pro modely Mark I

Peewit 1:144 mask set Gloster Gladiator

A set of die-cut self-adhesive Peewit masks in 1:144 scale for models of the British single-seat Gloster Gladiator biplane fighter. The masks follow the framing of the canopy glazing exactly and make it easier to achieve sharp color transitions.

The real subject

The Gloster Gladiator was a British single-seat biplane fighter with a radial engine, the last biplane in the fighter inventory of the Royal Air Force. It was deployed at the beginning of the Second World War on a number of fronts and, despite its outdated concept, it proved itself in many difficult situations.

Use

Stick the masks onto the clean and degreased glazing of the model and press the edges down carefully so that the paint does not run underneath. Then spray the framing in the airframe color and, once it has dried, lift the masks off carefully. Thanks to the die-cut shape the laborious cutting of tape with a knife is avoided, which makes the work considerably easier in a small scale.

Who the set is for

• Builders of Gloster Gladiator models in 1:144 scale
• Modelers who want sharp canopy frames without cutting by hand
• Lovers of biplanes and of the early Second World War
• Advanced and beginning modelers alike
