A set of die-cut self-adhesive masks, Peewit 1:72 Douglas X-3 Stiletto, for the glazed areas of the cockpit. An accessory for building the model, not a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
Self-adhesive die-cut masks from the Czech manufacturer Peewit for a model of the experimental Douglas X-3 Stiletto aircraft in 1:72 scale. The set serves to cover the glass during spraying: the framing of the cockpit then comes out sharp and the paint does not get where it should not. It is not a kit but a modeling accessory.
The pieces are cut from thin low-tack kabuki-type masking tape. The tape shapes easily over curved surfaces, holds well and, if taken off gently, leaves no glue on the plastic. The shapes are peeled off the backing with tweezers or the tip of a scalpel and stuck onto a clean, degreased surface.
The X-3 was a research machine with an extremely slender fuselage, a long pointed nose and a cockpit set low, whose glazing forms fairly narrow areas with sharp transitions. It is precisely such small, elongated shapes that are worst to draw out with a brush. A mask stuck down ensures a straight edge and makes it possible to spray the frames in the same glossy metallic shade that the rest of the airframe carries.
On all-metal surfaces the order matters: first paint and polish the metal, and only then stick the masks down and spray the frames. Seal the edge of the mask with a thin coat of clear varnish. Take the masks off shortly after the paint has set and pull them at an angle along the surface, not perpendicularly upward, so that the fresh metallic finish does not peel away.
The package contains only masks. The kit, paints and glue are not part of the delivery.
