1:48 Su-15 Flagon-A EXPERT kabuki masks

Sukhoi Su-15 Flagon-A Expert kabuki masks 1:48 (New Ware)

This is NOT a model but a set of self-adhesive masks from New Ware for a plastic kit of the Soviet Sukhoi Su-15 Flagon-A fighter in 1:48 scale. The masks are cut from Japanese washi (kabuki) masking paper and give a sharp color border. The Expert version is the fullest set: the glazing including the sealant and the inner-face masks, the exterior and position lights, and the wheels.

The real subject

The Su-15 was a Soviet twin-engine supersonic interceptor of the air defense forces. Flagon-A is the early production shape with a pure triangular (delta) wing, in service from the 1960s with air defense units.

Use

• Sticking them onto the canopy glazing before the frames are sprayed
• Masking the wheels and further areas according to the instructions supplied
• Sharp color borders with no bleeding under the mask
• The paper conforms well to the shape and lifts off easily once the paint has dried

Who it is for

For modelers building the Su-15 Flagon-A in 1:48 scale who want the canopy frames, the lights and the wheels cleanly sprayed. The fullest Expert version will be appreciated above all by advanced builders who want the masking settled in one go.

An add-on set of masks, not a standalone model. The kit and the paints are not included in the package.
