1:48 Paint mask Avro Anson Mk.I (AIRF)

Avro Anson Mk.I - painting mask (1:48, SX-Art)

A set of self-adhesive painting masks from the maker SX-Art for models of the British twin-engine Avro Anson Mk.I aircraft in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit and not a paint but a masking aid. The Anson has a richly glazed cockpit with many small windows, and it is precisely with such a type that masks save a great deal of time and ensure sharp, even frames without the laborious hand cutting of tape.

The real subject

The Avro Anson was a British twin-engine aircraft used for maritime patrol duty and above all for training crews. It was notable for its extensive glazing, which gave the crew a good view.

Use

• Transfer the masks onto clean degreased glazing and press them carefully against the individual frames.
• With richly divided glazing work part by part, so that every window fits accurately.
• Spray in thin coats so that the paint does not creep under the edge.
• Remove the mask once the paint has dried, while the varnish is not fully cured.

Who it is for

For builders of classic aircraft who will appreciate help with a complicated glazed cockpit and want clean frames without slow hand masking.

The masks are not a paint and not a kit. They serve only as an aid for accurate masking while spraying.
