The masking set 1:48 B-17F Flying Fortress Basic kabuki mask from New Ware serves to mask the glazed areas of a B-17F bomber model in 1:48 scale quickly and accurately. It is not a kit but an accessory that makes spraying easier.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of self-adhesive masking templates cut from Japanese kabuki paper. It adapts well even to slightly curved surfaces, holds throughout the spraying and leaves no adhesive residue on the transparent parts once removed. The Basic designation is the basic grade of the New Ware range; for the same aircraft the manufacturer also makes a higher Expert grade, which is more comprehensive. The scope of the masks differs between the grades, so go by the contents of the particular package.
The Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress was a four-engine heavy bomber of the US Army Air Forces from the period of the Second World War. It was powered by radial engines with turbochargers and had extensive glazing: the flight deck, the glazed nose for the navigator and the bombardier, side windows in the fuselage, gun turrets and observation ports. It is precisely the number of small frames that makes masking a B-17 one of the most laborious parts of the build, and ready-made templates shorten it markedly.
Degrease the clear parts before sticking the masks on and let them dry completely. Transfer the templates with tweezers and press them down with a stick or a toothpick, so that they seat even in the corners of the frames. Spray several thin coats, so that the paint does not seep under the edge of a mask. Take the masks off shortly after the paint has dried, while the edge is brittle and peels away cleanly. Correct any paint that has crept under the edge with a fine brush.
The package contains masking templates only. The model, paints and glue are not part of it.
