Responsibility details are not available.
This is not a kit of an aircraft but a masking set — an aid for painting a model. It contains pre-cut masks for the British trainer biplane de Havilland DH.82A Tiger Moth in the large 1:32 scale. It is made by Eduard, a Czech maker from Obrnice near Most.
The Tiger Moth is a classic trainer biplane of the 1930s with open cockpits and fixed landing gear. It is precisely the open cockpits and the windscreens that cause trouble when painting: a windscreen is small and transparent, but its frame has to be sharp, because it is clearly visible on a model. The 1:32 scale enlarges this detail further, so every unevenness gives itself away. A pre-cut mask holds the shape of the frame exactly and saves laborious cutting of tape under a magnifier.
Degrease the surface before sticking a mask on; fingerprints will give the masking away. Take the mask off the sheet with tweezers, lay it down and press the edges with a toothpick, so that the paint does not run under. Spray in several thin coats. With a biplane, mask only after the lifting surfaces have been assembled and tried, so that a mask is not damaged while handling the struts. Use the circular masks for the tires by first spraying the rubber and only masking and finishing the rim once it has dried.
The set does not contain a model, paints or glue. It serves for masking when painting a plastic kit.
