About product

Mask set 1:43 City Bus 5256 from SX-Art

A set of precisely cut self-adhesive masks in 1:43 scale for a model of the city bus type 5256. It is not a kit, but a masking accessory. On a bus the masking is the most laborious part of the whole model: the glazing makes up most of the sides, there are many windows and they all have thin framing that is genuinely hard to cut out of tape.

The real subject

The type 5256 is a high-capacity city bus of Eastern European design, used in ordinary route service. It has a long angular body with two to three doors, extensive side glazing and a low-set windshield. Models of city buses in 1:43 scale are popular with collectors of transport vehicles, because they can be put together into collections by city and by operator.

Usage and painting tips

Spray the bus over a white base, because city liveries tend to be saturated and over a dark base they would lose their brightness. Do not glue the clear parts with cyanoacrylate, because the fumes will fog them; use glue meant for glazing. Press the mask down all around with a toothpick, and on long straight frames work in sections, so that the film does not ripple. Spray thin coats and peel the mask off slowly at a sharp angle. Add the color of the window seals only after unmasking, with a fine brush.

Who the set is for

  • Collectors of models of buses and city transport vehicles in 1:43 scale
  • For those who do not want to cut dozens of window frames out of tape
  • For modelers working with an airbrush
  • For models finished for a display case or for a city diorama

This is an accessory for a kit, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

It is not. It is a set of masking templates, that is an accessory. The kit or the model of the bus has to be obtained separately.

The glazing makes up most of the sides of the body and there are many windows. Cutting that many thin frames out of tape by hand is a long job and the edges tend to be uneven.

Use glue meant for glazing. Cyanoacrylate glue gives off fumes that cloud clear plastic permanently.

For 1:43 scale, which is the most common for collector models of buses and commercial vehicles.
