1:72 C-130J-30 Hercules ADVANCED kabuki masks

New Ware 1:72 C-130J-30 Hercules ADVANCED kabuki masks

A fuller masking set in kabuki tape from the Czech manufacturer New Ware, intended for models of the Lockheed C-130J-30 Hercules transport aircraft in 1:72 scale. Against the basic version, the ADVANCED level adds masks for the seals and for selected camouflage details besides the glazing and the wheels, so it covers more steps of the painting.

The real subject

The C-130J-30 is the stretched version of the modern turboprop Hercules transport, with a digital cockpit and six-blade propellers. It serves for the tactical carriage of cargo and airborne troops and is widespread with a number of the world's air forces. The glazing on this type is extensive, which makes masking a great deal easier.

Use

• Degrease the glazing and the areas to be masked.
• Carry the masks with tweezers and press them into the frames and the corners.
• Paint the interior of the frames first, then the top camouflage.
• Kabuki tape follows the curves of the cabin and the windshield well.

Who the set is for

• Modelers who want to handle the extensive glazing of the Hercules accurately.
• Builders looking to save time against trimming tape by hand.

This is an accessory to a plastic kit, not a model in its own right. Neither paints nor the kit are included in the package.
