1:32 Fokker E.IV

HGW masking set – Fokker E.IV (1:32)

A set of HGW self-adhesive masks for a model of the German Fokker E.IV monoplane in 1:32 scale. It is neither a model nor a decal — these are pre-cut masks that are stuck onto the parts, oversprayed with paint and peeled off once dry. The result is sharp edges with none of the thickness of a decal.

The real subject

The Fokker E.IV was the last and most powerful version of the series of German Eindecker monoplanes of the First World War. It was powered by a powerful rotary engine and carried heavier armament than the earlier types of the series.

Use

• Separate the mask, stick it onto a clean surface and press the edges down.
• Apply the paint in thin coats so that it does not creep under the film.
• Once the paint has set, carefully peel the mask off.

Who it is for

• For modelers who prefer spraying the markings and the glazing to using decals.
• For clean edges and a scale thickness of paint on the finished model.

The masking set is an aftermarket accessory. The model itself, paints and glue are not included in the package.
