New Ware 1:144 Tu-160 Blackjack EXPERT is a set of die-cut kabuki masks in the widest level of the range. It is meant for modelers who mask more than just the cockpit glazing. Cut for the Zvezda 7002 and Academy 12621 kits.
Responsibility details are not available.
A masking set for a 1:144 model of the Tu-160 bomber. The parts are machine die-cut from kabuki tape, so nothing has to be traced or cut out with a scalpel. EXPERT is the level of the set and within the range it is the widest variant, covering more surfaces than the basic level. The level is exactly what tells otherwise similarly named sets apart, so watch for it when choosing. The masks are cut for the Zvezda 7002 and Academy 12621 kits.
The Tu-160 is a four-engine supersonic aircraft with variable-geometry wings and a long, smoothly shaped fuselage. The engine nacelles sit under the wing carry-through and the tail surfaces are tall and slender. In 1:144 scale the model has a respectable span, but the details that get masked stay small, and the larger the area of single-color paint the model carries, the more an imprecise edge or a bleed shows on it.
Degrease the surface before the masks go on and let the paint cure completely, because masking over fresh paint is a bad idea. Seat the parts with tweezers, press them down carefully around the edge and only then start spraying. A first thin coat of the underlying color over the edge of the mask is worth the effort: it seals the border and any bleed will not show. Pull the tape off at a shallow angle, away from the edge, not straight up. On larger areas between the masks use ordinary masking tape or film to fill in.
The masks are a painting aid. The kit and the paints are not included in the package.
