1:32 Douglas A-26B Invader TFace is a masking set of the brand Eduard from the JX line, that is from the line of masks for 1:32 scale - it is not a kit, not photo-etched parts and not decals. The designation TFace means that the set deals with the glazing of the cockpit from the outside as well as from the inside.

This item is a self-adhesive masking set for the plastic model of the American Douglas A-26B Invader attack bomber in 1:32 scale from the Czech manufacturer Eduard. Eduard distinguishes its masks by scale: the CX line covers 1:72, the EX line 1:48 and the JX line the large 1:32. The TFace variant differs from ordinary masks in that it contains parts for both sides of the glazing; once the inner masks are stuck on, the frames of the cockpit are painted from the inside as well, so that the view into the cockpit is not spoiled by bare transparent plastic. It is not a model of an airplane and not an accessory in photo-etch; it is an aid for painting, which you take off and throw away once the finish is done.
The Douglas A-26 Invader was a twin-engine all-metal attack bomber from the end of the Second World War. The A-26B version had an unglazed nose section with fixed gun armament, while the version with a glazed nose served for bombing from level flight. The extensive glazing of the pilot's compartment and of the gunner's station is characteristic of the model and at the same time it is the place where an otherwise successful build is most often spoiled by tracing the frames with a brush by hand.
The masks are cut from thin yellow paper of the Japanese type, which holds with a mild adhesive and leaves no remains after removal. Lift the parts out of the sheet with pointed tweezers or a scalpel, and first degrease and dry the surface of the glazing. Once the mask is laid down, press above all its edge; an edge that has not seated is the sole cause of paint running under. Apply the paint in thin coats and preferably in several passes; a thick deposit creates a marked step once the mask is removed. Take the masks off while the clear coat has only just dried, not after weeks, and by pulling to the side, not straight up. With the TFace variant, stick the inner set on first and paint the frames from the inside; only then add the outer parts and paint the outside.
The set contains masks only. The base model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
