Eduard 1:48 Avro Lancaster B.I TFace is a set of self-adhesive masking templates for the glazing of the British heavy bomber. The TFace designation means that the masks are prepared for the outside and the inside of the glazing alike.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not a kit but an accessory for a model. The set holds pre-cut self-adhesive masks of kabuki tape that cover the glazed areas of the Lancaster model in 1:48 scale while it is sprayed. The masks are laid on with tweezers, follow the shape of the frames and are peeled off after spraying. The manufacturer is the Czech company Eduard.
On Eduard masks the TFace abbreviation says that the set allows for covering the glazing from both sides, that is from the outside and from the inside. Inside masking makes sense wherever the cockpit is transparent once it is built and the frames are meant to read in color when seen from within as well. On a bomber with extensive glazing this pulls the result together considerably.
The Avro Lancaster B.I was a British four-engine heavy bomber of the Second World War powered by Rolls-Royce Merlin engines. A typical feature of the design was the long undivided bomb bay and the glazed gun positions in the nose, on the spine and in the tail. It is precisely because of the number of glazed areas that masking this type is among the more laborious parts of the build.
Degrease the glazing before laying the masks on and let it dry completely. Take the individual pieces off with sharp tweezers and press them down around the perimeter of the frame so that no gap is left anywhere. Spray the paint in thin coats so that it does not creep under the edge of the mask. Peel the masks off while the paint is still tacky rather than fully cured, and draw them slowly back over themselves.
The set is an accessory for a plastic kit. The model itself, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
