1:48 H.Hurricane Mk.I fabric w. A camouflage mask

Painting masks 1:48 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I - fabric wing, scheme A (AML)

Self-adhesive painting masks from the company AML for airbrushing the upper camouflage scheme of the British Hawker Hurricane Mk.I fighter with the fabric-covered wing, in the pattern A version. The RAF used two mirror-image variants of camouflage for fighters; this set reproduces variant A. The masks follow the demarcation lines exactly and give sharp, clean boundaries with no freehand shading. The set is cut to fit a model in 1:48 scale and is meant for models of the Hawker Hurricane Mk.I with the fabric wing.

The real subject

The Hawker Hurricane Mk.I was, together with the Spitfire, the main RAF fighter in the Battle of Britain, and it shot down the greatest number of enemy aircraft in it. The earliest machines had a fabric-covered wing; only later did the all-metal one arrive. The upper Dark Earth and Dark Green camouflage had pronounced boundaries between the color fields.

Use

• Spray the lighter of the upper shades and let it dry through.
• Transfer the masks according to the plan and press them onto the surface.
• Spray the second shade and remove the masks once dry.
• Take care over the correct orientation of pattern A.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building early Hurricanes with the fabric wing.
• Builders who want accurate and repeatable boundaries.
• Those who prefer the airbrush to freehand shading.

This is an accessory for the airbrush, not a kit. Paints, glue and the model are not included in the package.
