Responsibility details are not available.
A masking set in kabuki paper for an F-14B Tomcat model in 1:72 scale. This is not a model of an airplane but an accessory for the painting stage. The templates are cut to the outline in advance, stuck onto the clear cockpit canopy and once sprayed they leave frames with a straight edge. In 1:72 scale that is the difference between a clean model and a ragged line.
The BASIC, ADVANCED and EXPERT grades
New Ware grades its masking sets by scope. BASIC is the basic grade with the smallest scope, aimed at the glazing. ADVANCED has a wider reach. EXPERT is the most comprehensive and is aimed at modelers who want to spray even the small details instead of brushing them. The grades are not combined - a higher one usually covers the scope of the lower one as well, so one set is bought according to the level of detail required.
Anyone who wants more than the glazing has the EXPERT grade of the same type available.
The Grumman F-14B Tomcat is a two-seat carrier-based fighter with a variable-geometry wing. Compared with the original A version it received different turbofan engines with higher thrust and more reliable running, which was the most important change of the whole program. The cockpit is a tandem one with generous glazing, so the framing of the canopy is clearly visible even in 1:72 scale.
Kabuki paper is soft and its adhesive has low tack, so a mask follows curved shapes and leaves no residue on the plastic once it is removed. Degrease the clear part beforehand and let it dry. Lift the template with tweezers, offer it up to the glass and press it down from the center outward with a soft stick; press the edges at the frames especially carefully, because that is where the paint seeps most often. Cover the rest of the glazing with masking tape and trim any surplus paper with a new blade on a mat rather than on the clear part. Spray thin coats and keep the gun perpendicular to the mask rather than at an angle under it; the first coat belongs to the shade of the cockpit interior. Take the masks off while they are still fresh, pulling back over themselves at a sharp angle.
The set contains masking templates only. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
