About product

Eduard 1:72 F/A-18F TFace — masking set for the canopy

A set of self-adhesive masking templates from the Czech maker Eduard for a model of the two-seat carrier-based F/A-18F Super Hornet in 1:72 scale. The templates are cut from masking material so as to follow the shape of the canopy frames exactly, and they are usually supplemented by masks for the wheels. The designation TFace means that the set holds parts for both sides of the glazing — the outer and the inner. You can therefore spray the cockpit frames in a camouflage shade from the outside and in the interior color from the inside.

The real subject

The F/A-18F Super Hornet is the two-seat version of the carrier-based multirole combat aircraft of the US Navy. It has a larger airframe, rectangular air intakes and more powerful engines than the earlier Hornet. It is precisely the long two-seat canopy with its many frames that is one of the most demanding places when building the model — masking it by hand with tape takes more time here than all the rest of the painting.

Use and tips

Wash and degrease the glazing first so that the mask will hold. Separate the individual parts with the tip of a scalpel and move them with tweezers, lay them on dry and press them down with a wooden toothpick so that they are drawn properly into the corners of the frames. Spray the inner side with the cockpit color first, then once it has dried fit the outer masks and carry on with the primer and the camouflage. Spray in thin coats so that no paint gets under the edge of the mask. Remove the mask as soon as possible after it has dried, while the paint film is still flexible.

Who the set is for

  • modelers building the F/A-18F in 1:72 scale
  • those who want clean sharp canopy frames without taping by hand
  • builders who are bothered by unpainted insides of the canopy frames
  • beginners as well as the advanced — anyone can manage masking

It is an accessory, not a kit. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

The set holds masks for both sides of the glazing. You can therefore paint the cockpit frames in a camouflage shade outside and in the interior color inside.

Yes, this is die-cut self-adhesive masking material. The glazing only has to be washed and degreased before the masks go on.

As soon as possible after the paint has dried. In fully cured paint the edge separates less easily and the paint film risks tearing.

Masking sets for aircraft are usually supplemented by masks for the tires, but the exact extent depends on the particular boxing.
