1:72 Fw 109A-4 wheels + paint masks (konv.) /ZVD

What the set is for

Wheels and sharp paint edges are among the details that decide how a model looks close up. Kit wheels tend to be simplified, and their tread and hub shape can be sharpened with replacement parts. Masks in turn save cutting shapes out of tape and keep a clean edge where hand work usually gives itself away, that is on the glazing and at the boundaries of the camouflage.

What the set contains

The set joins two things: replacement wheels and paint masks for a model of the aircraft in the A-4 version in 1:72 scale. The wheels are fitted in place of the kit parts. The masks are stuck to the surface before spraying and taken off once the paint has dried. The scope of the set, the number of parts and the kit it is cut for are given in the manufacturer's description and instructions.

Building and painting tips

On the wheels, cut the surplus material away with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the remainder down so that the outline stays regular; then wash and degrease them. Try the fit dry and watch that the model stands level. If the wheels carry a flat spot from the weight of the aircraft, turn the flat spot toward the ground. Stick the masks onto a degreased, dry surface, press them down along the edges and spray in thin coats. Take them off shortly after the paint has dried, pulling at an angle across themselves.
