1:48 Mig-15 / Mig15 bis O-max set (for Bronco)

Omask MiG-15 / MiG-15bis 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 landing gear bays. The masks let you spray the canopy frames cleanly, and the foam plugs protect the inside of the bays from paint during airbrushing.

The real subject

The MiG-15 was a first-generation Soviet jet fighter and one of the most widespread aircraft of its day. The improved MiG-15bis version received a more powerful engine. The aircraft made a considerable mark in the Korean War and served in many countries, Czechoslovakia among them.

Use

• The masks are laid straight onto the glazing and follow the shape of the canopy frames exactly.
• The framing of the canopy is sprayed without laborious masking with tape by hand.
• The foam plugs go into the landing gear bays and keep paint from getting in.
• Once the paint is dry, both the masks and the plugs come off easily.

Who the set is for

For modelers building the MiG-15 or the MiG-15bis in 1:48 scale who want to speed the masking of the canopy up and make it more accurate, and to protect the landing gear bays.

Neither the masks nor the plugs contain paint. Check the exact compatibility with a particular kit in the manufacturer's instructions.
