1:48 Mig-23M Flogger-B BASIC kabuki masks

New Ware MiG-23M Flogger-B BASIC 1:48 painting masks

A set of accurate self-adhesive masks of thin washi (kabuki) tape from New Ware. They serve for quick, clean masking of the canopy glazing, the wheels and other details of the model when spraying with an airbrush or with a brush. The material follows the shape well, holds along the edge of the engraved lines and leaves no adhesive residue once peeled off. The BASIC level covers the basic masking of the canopy glazing.

The real subject

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 was a Soviet supersonic fighter with a variable-geometry wing. The MiG-23M version, NATO reporting name Flogger-B, was the main production fighter variant of the 1970s, with a powerful engine, radar and armament able to fight at medium as well as short range.

Use

• Clean and degrease the glazing, move the mask with tweezers and press it down along the engraved edges.
• Spray in thin coats so that the paint does not bleed under the edge of the mask.
• Peel the masks off shortly after the paint has dried, while the coat is still flexible.
• Suitable for sharp color transitions on the canopy frames and on small clear areas.

Who the set is for

For modelers who want sharp color transitions without the long job of cutting tape, and for builders who value quick, reliable masking.

These are painting masks, not a model. The paints, the glue and the kit are not included in the package.
