1:72 Firebrand Mk.IV / Mk.5 /VLM

Masks for the Firebrand Mk.IV and Mk.5 in 1:72 scale from Peewit

A set of precisely cut self-adhesive masks for the canopy of the British carrier-based aircraft Blackburn Firebrand in the Mk.IV and Mk.5 versions. The masks cover the transparent panes of the glazing, so that you spray the frames with sharp edges and with no risk of the brush slipping. This is not a model of the aircraft but an accessory for building one.

Use

• Lift the mask off the backing sheet with tweezers and seat it on the corresponding pane of the canopy
• Press the edges down carefully so that no paint runs underneath them
• Spray the frames first with the interior color and then with the camouflage shade
• Once it has dried, peel the masks off carefully

The real subject

The Blackburn Firebrand was a massive British carrier-based aircraft with a radial engine, developed originally as a fighter and in the end introduced as a strike machine capable of carrying a torpedo. The Mk.IV and Mk.5 versions served with the carrier squadrons of the Royal Navy above all in the first postwar years.

Who the accessory is for

For modelers who are building the Firebrand in 1:72 scale and want to achieve clean, professional-looking canopy glazing without the lengthy business of outlining the frames by hand.

This is a modeling accessory - the kit of the aircraft itself is not included in the package.
