About product

QMT 1:48 Aichi B7A2 Grace — wheel bay masks

A masking set from the QMT brand in 1:48 scale for the Aichi B7A2 carrier-based bomber, known under the Allied code name Grace. This is a modeling accessory for painting, not a model of the aircraft: self-adhesive, pre-cut shapes that protect the area of the wheel bays during spraying.

The painting sequence

A mask of this kind comes into play in the middle of the painting procedure, and the order of the steps matters more with it than with canopy masks. First finish the inside of the bay, including the shading and any weathering, and let it cure. Only then put the mask in, move on to the filler primer and the lower shade of the wing and the fuselage, and finally to the upper colors. Anyone who reverses the order and masks only after the camouflage usually ends up touching up by brush in the place that is most visible when the model is seen from below.

Usage tips

A flat mask need not fill a deeper cavity completely; feel free to fill the free space under it with a piece of foam or with damp cotton wool, so that no mist from the airbrush gets inside. Press the edge of the mask down with a blunt tool, and on rounded transitions work in small sections. Apply the paint in several goes and let it flash off between the coats, because a heavy wet coat is the easiest of all to creep under the edge.

Who the set is for

  • modelers building Japanese carrier aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • those who build with the landing gear extended and the bays open
  • airbrush users who dislike touching up by brush
  • modelers who want the painting finished in one run, with no waiting

The package contains masks only. The model, the paints and the glue are not in it.

FAQ

It covers the area of the wheel bays during spraying, so that their inside stays in the color you gave it earlier and does not pick up the shade of the outer surfaces.

Once the interior of the bay is painted and perfectly dry, that is, before the filler primer and the lower shade. On fresh paint the mask sticks too firmly.

It closes it from above. If the cavity is deep, fill under the mask with foam or damp cotton wool so that no mist from the airbrush gets inside.

No, the package contains masks only. The model, the paints and the thinner are bought separately.
