About product

Masking set 1:48 F/A-18E (SX-Art)

A masking set from the SX-Art brand for painting a model of the F/A-18E carrier-borne combat aircraft in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit and not a part of a model, but an aid for painting: the masks are stuck onto the canopy and other areas, sprayed over and lifted off once the paint has dried. The dimensions and shapes are based on the Hobby Boss kit.

The real subject

The F/A-18E is the single-seat version of the enlarged carrier-borne aircraft derived from the older Hornet line. Against its predecessor it has a larger fuselage and wing, angular air intake lips and a greater fuel load, which showed in its range and in the carrying capacity for stores. The machine is intended for operations from aircraft carriers, so it has strengthened landing gear and an arresting hook. The model has an extensive single-piece canopy with a narrow frame, where a clean edge of paint is most visible.

How to use the masks

The canopy has to be perfectly clean and degreased before the mask is stuck on. Seat the mask with tweezers, press the edges down and spray in thin layers. First apply the shade of the interior, then the external color. Carrier-borne aircraft are usually finished in matte gray shades with strongly worked panel lines, so after lifting the mask off, let the finish harden and only then work with a wash, so that it does not run under the edge. Lift the mask off as soon as the paint has set.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of a model of the F/A-18E in 1:48 scale.
  • Modelers who want a sharp and straight frame on the canopy.
  • Those who work with a wash and want the glazing protected.
  • Anyone interested in modern carrier-borne combat hardware.

It is an accessory to a model, not the model itself. The kit and paints are not included in the package. Before you buy, check that the set matches your kit.

Shortly after the paint has set, while it has not hardened into a continuous film. The edge then stays sharp.

Yes. Masked glazing stays clean even when you subsequently work with a wash in the panel lines.

The target kit is Hobby Boss. The cut and the dimensions are based on it; with another tooling the shapes may differ.
