About product

EXPERT masks for a model of the AH-64 Block II Apache in 1:48 scale

A set of precisely cut self-adhesive masks from the manufacturer New Ware for a model of the attack helicopter AH-64 in the Block II version in 1:48 scale. It is neither a model nor an accessory that could be stuck onto a model permanently — the masks serve to cover surfaces during spraying and are taken off once the painting is done. With this manufacturer the EXPERT designation is the highest grade of extent of a set; the lower grades carry the designations BASIC and ADVANCED and deal with a smaller range of surfaces.

What kabuki tape is

The masks are cut from a thin Japanese paper tape. It has two properties for which it is used in modeling: it follows curved surfaces well, so it can be pressed down even onto convex glazing, and after removal it leaves no residues of adhesive on the surface. At the same time it is impermeable enough to keep paint from a airbrush from creeping under it, provided the edges are pressed down properly.

How to use the masks

First degrease the surface and leave it completely dry. Lift the mask off the sheet with tweezers and lay it down starting from one edge, so that it does not ripple. Press the edges down with a toothpick or a blunt wooden stick — that is exactly where it is decided whether the transition of color will be sharp. Spray in thin coats; a thick coat has a tendency to creep under the edge. Take the mask off while the varnish is only dry to the touch, not fully cured, by pulling it back over itself at a sharp angle.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who spray glazing and do not want to mask it by hand
  • Builders of modern helicopters in 1:48 scale
  • Those who want sharp transitions of color without laborious cutting
  • Competition modelers, where the quality of masking is visible at first glance

The masks are an aid for painting a model, not a model or a part of one. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. They serve to cover surfaces during spraying and are taken off once the painting is done.

It is the highest grade of extent with this manufacturer. Check the particular list of masked surfaces on the packaging of the set.

With well pressed-down edges and spraying in thin coats it will not. The risk grows when a thick wet coat is applied all at once.
