A set of self-adhesive masking templates from Eduard for a model of the Su-39 attack aircraft in 1:72 scale, die-cut from kabuki paper and ready to apply directly.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is a masking set, not a kit and not decals. It comes from the Czech manufacturer Eduard and falls within its range of masks for 1:72 scale. The masks are die-cut in advance, so they are simply lifted off the sheet and applied in place. The material is kabuki paper: thin, pliable, with an adhesive weak enough to leave no trace and not to pull a sprayed coat off when it is removed.
Su-39 is the designation of a modernized attack aircraft derived from the twin-engine Su-25. It is a subsonic machine for the support of ground troops, in which the pilot's cabin is protected by an armored tub. The glazing is therefore smaller and the frames heavier than on fighter types, which paradoxically does not make the work on a model easier: shorter, broken-up areas are harder to mask by hand than one large smooth canopy.
Wash the clear parts first and let them dry completely, as grease from the fingers is the most common reason a mask does not hold. Lift the pieces with tweezers and press them down with the tip of a toothpick around the whole edge, especially in the corners of the frames. Before you start spraying the outer color, lay a thin sealing coat, ideally in the color the frame has on the inside. Guide the airbrush perpendicular to the edge of the mask, not at an angle under it. Once the painting and the varnish are done, remove the masks by pulling them back over themselves rather than straight up, so that the edge does not lift with the paint. Any adhesive residue left behind comes off with a cotton bud moistened with water.
The set contains masking templates. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
