About product

TFace masking set for the A6M2b Zero Fighter Model 21 in 1:48 scale

This is a set of pre-cut self-adhesive masks for the glazing of a model of the Japanese carrier fighter A6M2b Zero Fighter Model 21 in 1:48 scale, not a kit and not paint. Eduard uses the designation TFace for masks that cover the glazing from both sides, that is from outside and from inside. Thanks to that the canopy frame can be painted from outside in the exterior color of the airframe and from inside in the interior color, which is clearly visible on the extensively glazed canopy of the Zero. The masks are peeled off the backing sheet and applied straight to the part, so cutting tape falls away. Check the number of masks and their extent on the box.

What the set is for

A sharply defined canopy frame is among the most demanding parts of a build, and masking a curved canopy by hand with tape usually ends in an uneven line. Pre-cut masks hold the shape of the frame as a particular model gives it and save time. The inner set also keeps the frame from showing in the exterior color when you look into the cockpit.

Usage tips

  • Wash and degrease the glazing before masking, because dust under a mask creates a leak.
  • Transfer the masks with tweezers or the point of a scalpel; do not touch the adhesive layer with your fingers.
  • Press the edges down firmly with a toothpick or a rounded tool, so that paint does not run under them.
  • Spray the paint in thin coats, because a heavy coat creates a step at the edge.
  • Take the masks off while the finish has only just dried, not after it has fully cured.

Who the set is for

For modelers who build the Zero in 1:48 scale and want clean canopy frames without cutting tape by hand, and for those who are masking for the first time and want to avoid the most common beginner's mistake. The inner masks will be appreciated above all by builders who leave the cockpit open.

This is a masking set, not a kit. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Eduard uses it for masking sets that cover the glazing from both sides. You can then paint the frame from outside in the color of the airframe and from inside in the interior color.

No, the set contains masks only. The model and paints have to be obtained separately.

As soon as the finish is dry to the touch, not after it has fully cured. After a long time the edge of the paint may tear away with the mask.

The masks are cut to the shape of a particular model. The target kit is not given in the name, so with another model compare the shape of the glazing against the instructions.
