Eduard 1:32 Curtiss P-40E Kittyhawk is a set of self-adhesive die-cut masks for the glazing in 1:32 scale - in the basic, single-sided version, that is without masks for the inner side of the clear parts. It is not an aircraft model but an accessory for building one.
Responsibility details are not available.
A mask set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for the large 1:32 scale. It contains self-adhesive masks die-cut to the shape of the canopy frames and of the other glazing of the P-40E. This is the basic, single-sided version of the mask: the outer side of the clear parts is masked. Anyone who wants the framing colored from inside as well reaches for the TFace version of the same set. The set is neither a kit nor a model - it is an accessory used when painting a plastic model.
A mask adds no physical detail to the model. That sets it apart from the photo-etched sets by the same manufacturer, which put new brass parts into the interior, onto the outer surface, into the gun bays or onto the landing flaps, and also from the resin accessories. A mask deals purely with clean painting of the glazing, so it does not rule the other accessories out; it complements them.
The Curtiss P-40E is a single-engine fighter with a liquid-cooled Allison V-1710 engine and a distinctive radiator slung under the nose. In Commonwealth service it carried the name Kittyhawk. The E version differs from the earlier P-40s in its shorter nose, its revised cockpit and its armament concentrated in the wing. The large 1:32 scale emphasizes those differences, so the glazing is worth some care.
Wash the glazing first and let it dry thoroughly - grease from your fingers is the most common reason a mask lifts. Move the parts with tweezers, press them down all round with a toothpick and apply the paint in several thin coats. In 1:32 scale the frames are wide, so any bleed under the mask is very visible. Take the mask off shortly after the paint has dried, pulling at a shallow angle.
This is an accessory for a kit, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
