1:48 Bristol Beaufighter O-max set (for Tamiya)

Omask Bristol Beaufighter O-max set (1:48)

This is an accessory, not an aircraft model. The O-max set from Omask contains precisely cut painting masks for the canopy glazing and other clear areas, together with foam (EVA) plugs for the wheel wells. The masks let you spray the canopy frames cleanly, and the foam plugs protect the inside of the wells from paint while airbrushing. The set is cut for the Beaufighter kit from Tamiya.

The real subject

The Bristol Beaufighter was a British twin-engine heavy fighter and attack aircraft of the Second World War. It proved itself as a night fighter as well as a torpedo and attack aircraft with considerable firepower.

Use

• The masks are applied directly to the glazing and follow the shape of the canopy frames exactly.
• The framing of the canopy is sprayed without laborious hand masking with tape.
• The foam plugs are inserted into the wheel wells and keep paint out.
• Once the paint has dried, both the masks and the plugs come off easily.

Who the set is for

For modelers building the Beaufighter in 1:48 scale who want to speed up and sharpen the masking of the canopy and the protection of the wheel wells.

Neither the masks nor the plugs contain paint. The exact match to a particular kit is given on the packaging of the set.
