About product

An Art Scale mask for the B-24J Liberator in 1:48 scale

This set of masks from Art Scale is meant for a model of the heavy bomber Consolidated B-24J Liberator in 1:48 scale. On a four-engined machine of this size there really is a great deal of glazing, and painting the frames by hand takes more time than all the rest of the painting, which is why a masking set is worth it. The item is listed as the single-sided version, and the double-sided version is a separate item. Neither plastic parts nor paints are included. The cut of the masks follows the Hobby Boss kit.

The real subject

The Liberator was the most numerously produced American bomber of the Second World War. Its characteristic features are the slender Davis wing set high on the fuselage, twin vertical tails and a boxy fuselage with a roomy bomb bay. The J version was among the most widespread and carried a nose gun turret, which gave the crew cover in the forward direction as well. Besides raids over Europe, Liberators served in large numbers over the Pacific and over the Atlantic on anti-submarine patrol.

Recommended procedure

On a large bomber it pays to mask all the transparencies at once before the first coat goes on, otherwise the work is needlessly broken up. Cover the gun turrets and the side observation windows with an overlap, because that is where the paint most often gets inside. Before the final shade it is worth evening the whole airframe out with a base coat, so that filled seams are invisible under the paint.

Who the set suits

  • Builders of large bombers in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who do not want to brush dozens of frames
  • Anyone interested in American aviation of the Second World War period
  • Those who build a model with the gun positions open

FAQ

It does not. You are buying only the masks for painting, and the model itself in 1:48 scale has to be owned separately.

The Liberator has many windows, gun positions and frames. Painting them by hand would take hours and the result would have an uneven line width.

Yes, the manufacturer makes a double-sided version for the same type as a separate item. The difference between them follows from the designation in the name.

A small overrun can be carefully scraped away with a pointed wooden stick once it has dried, or painted over with a fine brush. The way to prevent it is a thin sealing coat along the edge.
