1:32 Masks for Bachem Ba 349 Natter (FLY)

Bachem Ba 349 Natter - kabuki masks 1:32 (New Ware)

This is NOT a model but a set of self-adhesive masking masks from New Ware for a plastic kit of the German rocket fighter Bachem Ba 349 Natter in 1:32 scale. The masks are cut from Japanese washi (kabuki) masking paper, leave a sharp boundary of color and serve to mask the cockpit glazing and other surfaces during spraying.

The real subject

The Bachem Ba 349 Natter was a German rocket interceptor of the end of the Second World War, designed for a vertical launch and a single combat sortie against bomber formations. The fuselage was largely wooden and the aircraft was not meant to be used again after a sortie. Only a small number were built and its single manned launch ended in a crash, so it ranks among the most experimental machines of its day.

Use

• Application to the frames of the cockpit glazing before spraying
• Masking of other surfaces according to the enclosed instructions
• Sharp boundaries of color with nothing seeping under the mask
• The paper yields readily to the shape and lifts off easily once the paint is dry

Who it is for

For modelers building the Bachem Ba 349 Natter in 1:32 scale who want to spray the cockpit frames and other surfaces cleanly without slow masking with tape.

A supplementary set of masks, not a model on its own. The kit and the paints are not included in the package.
