Eduard 1:32 Panavia Tornado IDS TFace is a set of precisely cut painting masks for the cockpit glazing of a Tornado IDS model. The TFace designation means masks for both the outer and the inner side of the glazing.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not an aircraft kit but an add-on to one. The set contains self-adhesive painting masks cut to the shape of the cockpit frames of a Panavia Tornado IDS model in 1:32 scale. The masks are applied directly to the clear part, so the boundary between glass and frame comes out crisp and straight without hand-lining with a brush or sticking strips of tape. Eduard is a Czech manufacturer from Obrnice near Most and masking sets are among its most widespread accessories.
What the TFace designation means
The TFace line addresses the situation in which the inside of the cockpit is visible on the finished model. Alongside masks for the outer side of the glazing it also contains counterparts for the inner side, so the frames can be painted from both sides and the cockpit looks realistic even when seen through the glazing. In the large 1:32 scale that difference is clearly apparent on the model.
The Panavia Tornado IDS is a two-seat combat aircraft with a variable-geometry wing, developed in an international European program. The crew consists of a pilot and a systems operator, so the cockpit is long and divided into several glazed parts with a large number of frames. It is precisely this geometry that makes hand masking a lengthy job, one that cut masks shorten markedly.
Wash the clear part before applying and let it dry thoroughly; grease from fingers makes the mask hold worse. Carry the masks with tweezers and press them down with a toothpick or a stick all around the edge, above all in the corners. Spray the paint in several thin coats so that it does not run under the edge. Take the mask off shortly after the varnish has dried, not days later; older adhesive is harder to remove. Cover the remaining glazed areas with masking fluid or tape.
This is an add-on to a model, not a kit. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
