About product

Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird: a 1:48 masking set (Eduard)

This is not a model of the aircraft but a masking set in 1:48 scale from the Czech manufacturer Eduard. The masks are pre-cut from kabuki paper, a thin Japanese masking material with a mild adhesive that can be shaped on a curved surface and leaves no sticky residue on the model once removed. This is the standard form for masking from the outside; the manufacturer also makes a TFace variant for double-sided masking.

What the set is for

A model of the Blackbird in 1:48 scale is a large piece and its cockpits have small but clearly bounded glazing. That is exactly where any inaccurately drawn frame shows at once, because around it is a uniform dark area with no distracting detail. Pre-cut masks define the frames precisely, so the result looks clean even after a gloss clear coat and patina have been applied.

How to use the masks

  • Wash and degrease the glazing before sticking them on.
  • Press the edges of the masks down carefully so that paint does not creep under them.
  • Spray the paint in thin coats, otherwise a step will form on the edge.
  • With dark finishes it pays to spray a primer first and only then the final shade.
  • Remove the masks shortly after the paint has dried.

Who the set is for

It suits modelers who are building a large model of the reconnaissance aircraft and want the glazing sharply separated from the skin, and those who want to save themselves hours of work with a scalpel and adhesive tape. It presupposes a matching kit in 1:48 scale.

This is an accessory for modelers, not a kit. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package. Check beforehand that the set matches the kit you are building.

FAQ

It is not. The package contains only the sheet of pre-cut masks; the kit has to be obtained separately.

Yes, Eduard marks its double-sided sets with the suffix TFace. That one additionally contains masks for the inner side of the glazing.

The masks are cut to the shape of particular glazing, so they need not fit exactly on a different kit. Check the match beforehand.

The extent of the sheet is stated on the box of the set. With aircraft sets, masking for the tires is usual besides the glazing.
