1:48 P-51 B/C invasion stripes 18 inches (for Eduard)

P-51 B/C invasion stripes 18 inches 1:48 (Omask)

A set of precisely cut masks for spraying the so-called invasion stripes, that is the alternating black and white bands that Allied aircraft carried during the Normandy landings. The masks match a stripe width of 18 inches on the real aircraft and are shaped for the fuselage and the wings of the North American P-51 B/C Mustang fighter in 1:48 scale. By sticking the masks on and spraying step by step you get sharp and even transitions without laborious measuring. The width and the spacing of the stripes match the fuselage and the wings of the Eduard kit.

Use

• First spray the surface in the light color of the stripes, usually white.
• Stick the masks on the places that are to stay white and press them down firmly against the surface.
• Spray over with the dark color, usually black, let it become tacky and take the masks off.
• For clean edges, spray in thin coats perpendicular to the edge of the mask.

Who it is for

For modelers building the P-51 B/C Mustang in 1:48 scale who want accurate and symmetrical invasion stripes without lengthy masking with tape.

The accessory is supplied on its own; the paints and the model are not included in the package.
