About product

Omask 1:48 F-104 Starfighter, landing gear bay plugs (for Kinetic)

Practical masking equipment from the Czech brand Omask, tailored to the F-104 Starfighter model in 1:48 scale from Kinetic. The package holds plugs of springy foam that follow the outline of the landing gear bays. Before painting they are pushed inside and after spraying they are pulled out, with nothing glued and nothing to cut.

A note for the record: this is not a kit. The F-104 model itself has to be bought separately.

Where the problem arises

The Starfighter has the inside of its bays set apart in color from the skin, and the bays are deep and full of detail. Once overspray gets into them, a repair is next to impossible, and masking every edge with tape takes more time than the whole spraying job. A plug fills the opening in one go and reliably.

Use

  • Paint the inside of the bay and let it dry thoroughly.
  • Push the plug into the bay, and the foam expands and seats against the edges.
  • Spray the primer and the top coat; the plug stands up to normal airbrush pressure.
  • Once the paint has dried, take the plug out and carry on fitting the landing gear.

The real subject

The F-104 Starfighter earned the nickname missile with a man in it, a supersonic interceptor built around a huge engine and an extremely thin, short wing. The leading edge of the wing was so sharp that it was covered with guards on the ground, so that ground crews would not hurt themselves on it. An aircraft like that deserves neat paintwork with no blemishes in the landing gear bays.

Who it is for

For modelers who build the Kinetic F-104 in 1:48 and want to save an hour of fiddling with masking tape, and above all to avoid a mistake that cannot be taken back.

A masking aid for painting. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

It is not. It is only foam plugs for masking the landing gear bays. The Starfighter kit is obtained separately.

For the F-104 Starfighter model in 1:48 scale from Kinetic. With other makers or scales the plugs may not fit.

Once the inside of the bay has been painted and has dried, the plug is pushed into the opening, the model is sprayed and after the paint has dried the plug is pulled out.

The foam is springy and does not stick, so it goes in and comes out without force. Always work in a dry, fully cured bay, though, and do not force the plug in.
