1:32 Hawker Tempest Mk.V - masks is a masking set from HGW for the British fighter with the Napier Sabre H-24 engine. It is not a model of the aircraft but self-adhesive masks that make spraying the glazing of a model in 1:32 scale easier.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is not a kit of the aircraft. It is a masking set for a model of the British Tempest in the Mk.V version in 1:32 scale. The pre-cut self-adhesive masks are stuck onto the clear parts, the paint is sprayed over them and once they are lifted a crisp transition stays between the frame and the glazing.
Mind the choice of version - the Mk.V is the most widespread version of the Tempest with the liquid-cooled Napier Sabre H-24 engine, while the Mk.II had a radial engine. The nose of the aircraft is completely different with that and the sets for the two versions cannot be interchanged. Check which version your kit represents.
The Hawker Tempest Mk.V was a British single-engine fighter used from 1944. It grew out of the development of the Typhoon type but received a new, thinner wing of elliptical plan, which shifted its performance in the upper band of speeds. It was powered by the liquid-cooled Napier Sabre H-24 engine and the armament consisted of four cannons in the wing. The type was among the fastest British piston fighters of its time in flight at low altitudes and was used, among other things, in intercepting V-1 missiles.
Wash and degrease the clear parts, or the mask will not hold and the paint will creep under it. Move the masks with tweezers and press them down with a blunt point, above all in the corners. Spray thin coats; a heavy coat will leave a step at the edge. Lift the mask off while the paint is dry only to the touch. Spray the frames first in the shade of the interior and only then in the outer finish, so that they look right from the inside as well.
The masks are an accessory for a kit. The kit itself and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
