1:72 Su-35S Flanker E - masks for the exhaust nozzles, parts G5 to G8 is a narrowly focused set of kabuki paper for masking the engine nozzles. It is not a cockpit set and not an overall masking set for the model.
Responsibility details are not available.
A narrowly focused accessory: pre-cut kabuki masks intended exclusively for the engine exhaust nozzles, and specifically for the particular four parts designated G5 to G8 in the kit. A sister set for the second group of nozzle parts exists as well, so the part designations in the name are a distinguishing detail here - check before buying which group you need, or order both. It is not a kit and not a set for the cockpit glazing.
The nozzles of jet engines are painted in metallic shades, and those behave differently from ordinary covering paints: the pigment in them settles at the bottom, they are harder to spray over and they take subsequent masking badly. That is why they are applied last of all and the surrounding areas are covered before them. The segmented nozzles of the Su-35S also have a sharp transition between the movable petals and the rear of the fuselage which tape applied by hand can hardly follow on a round surface in 1:72 scale.
Mix the metallic paint thoroughly before spraying and apply it onto a smooth, ideally gloss surface - it loses its sheen on a rough one. Press the mask down around the whole perimeter so that the fine pigment does not get under the edge; metallic paint that has bled underneath is hard to put right. Take it off soon after drying, as dried metallic paint is brittle and flakes when pulled away late. Choose the order of work so that masking the nozzles is the last step before varnishing.
The set holds masking material only. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
