1:48 Westland Lynx AH-7 Advanced mask

Westland Lynx AH-7 Advanced mask 1:48 (painting mask)

A self-adhesive painting mask from New Ware in the extended Advanced variant for models of the Westland Lynx AH-7 helicopter in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit and not decals but a set of precisely shaped masks that separate the glazing and the color fields sharply when you spray. The Advanced set goes beyond the basic canopy masks.

The real subject

The Westland Lynx AH-7 was a British army multirole helicopter. It served for anti-tank work, transport and reconnaissance and became known for its agility. Its glazed cockpit and skid landing gear are characteristic.

Use and tips

• The set contains masks for all the windows including the frame seals, for the rotor blades and for further details.
• Apply the masks to a degreased and smooth surface and press the edges down with a toothpick, so that no paint runs under them.
• Spray in thin coats and remove the mask while the paint has only flashed off, not once it has dried hard.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the Westland Lynx AH-7 in 1:48 scale
• Anyone wanting sharp transitions in the finish without hand-outlining
• Builders who want cleanly sprayed glazing and rotors

This is a painting mask, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
