1:32 Messerschmitt Bf-108

Messerschmitt Bf-108 painting masks in 1:32 scale (Eduard)

A set of precisely pre-cut kabuki paper masks from the Czech maker Eduard. They mask the canopy glazing during spraying, and usually the landing gear wheels as well. The masks hold without paint creeping underneath and leave no adhesive residue when removed. This is an accessory for a model, not a kit.

The real subject

The Messerschmitt Bf-108 Taifun was a prewar all-metal four-seat touring and liaison aircraft. Its modern design with a smooth skin and retractable landing gear foreshadowed the solutions of the later Bf-109 fighter. The glazed cabin with its many frames is demanding to mask.

Use

• Transfer the masks from the sheet and seat them precisely on the glazing frames and on the wheels.
• Cover the glazed areas between the frames with offcuts of film or with liquid mask.
• Spray in thin coats so that the paint does not creep underneath.
• Remove the masks while the paint is still tacky, for a crisp edge.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the large Bf-108 in 1:32 scale who want clean masking of its extensive glazing.

This is a stand-alone mask set. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
