Peewit masks for the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I 1:48

A set of precisely pre-cut self-adhesive painting masks for masking the glazing and the canopy frames when spraying. The masks make painting faster and more accurate, so that the resulting edges of the frames are sharp and free of paint bleed. The set is cut for the later variant of the canopy shape of this real subject, which is the British Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I fighter. This is not a kit but an accessory that makes painting a particular model easier. The manufacturer is Peewit.

The real subject

The Supermarine Spitfire was a British single-engine fighter and a symbol of the defense of Britain in the Second World War. The Mk.I version was the first production variant, with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and the characteristic elliptical wing. The shape of the canopy of the Spitfire evolved during production, which is why the manufacturer offers the masks in variants according to the particular form.

Use

• Clean and degrease the canopy glazing
• Transfer the masks carefully and press them down exactly along the frames
• Apply the paint in thin coats, ideally with an airbrush
• Remove the mask for a clean, sharp edge

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the Spitfire Mk.I in 1:48 scale with the later canopy variant
• Anyone who wants sharp canopy frames without lengthy masking with tape
• Beginners and advanced modelers

The masks are supplied without paints; paints and glue are not included in the package.
