1:72 F/A-18C Painting Mask (ACA)

F/A-18C 1:72 - spray mask SX-Art

This set of self-adhesive spray masks from SX-Art makes it easier to create the finish and the markings on a model of the F/A-18C Hornet carrier-borne fighter-bomber in 1:72 scale. The templates bound the color fields and the insignia exactly, so you spray sharp transitions without laborious masking by hand and without ragged edges.

The real subject

The F/A-18C is the single-seat multirole version of the carrier-borne Hornet, which joins the fighter and the bomber role in one machine. It flew from the decks of aircraft carriers and was the backbone of US naval aviation for decades. It typically carries a low-visibility gray finish in several shades.

What it is for and how it is used

• It bounds the color fields and the insignia sharply without tape by hand
• It gives a faithful and repeatable result
• Lay the paint on thinner and in thin coats to stop it running
• Peel the masks off while the paint is fresh

Who the mask is for

For builders of the Hornet in small scale who want sharp transitions and accurate insignia. The set is cut for a particular kit, so check compatibility before buying.

The mask is an accessory for spraying paint. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
