1:48 Spitfire Mk.VIII - a set of painting masks is an accessory to a kit you have already bought, not a model. The precisely die-cut masks from the maker Montex serve for painting the glazing and other areas.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of precisely die-cut painting masks for a model of the fighter Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VIII in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit or any part of a model but an accessory that is used during painting and removed once the spraying is finished. The masks are cut to the shape of the glazing of the Eduard kit.
The framing of a cabin can be masked with hand-cut tape as well, but on the Spitfire with its rounded canopy that is lengthy work and every millimeter of deviation shows on the finished model. A pre-cut mask has a shape derived from the particular part, so all you need do is transfer it into place and press it down. The material of the masks adapts to curves well and leaves no adhesive behind once it is removed, so the clear part does not have to be cleaned.
First wash the clear part in lukewarm soapy water and let it dry; a mask will not hold on a greasy surface. Lift the templates out with tweezers or a pointed knife, and do not pull them by the corners, so that they do not stretch. Once they are stuck on, press the edges down properly with a toothpick - that is exactly where the paint creeps underneath. Spray the frames with the interior shade first and only then with the external coat, otherwise the frames would shine with the base color from the inside. Apply the paint in several very thin layers. Take the masks off as soon as the paint is dry to the touch but not yet perfectly cured; the edge is then at its sharpest.
The set of masks is an accessory to a plastic kit, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
