1:48 B-26B-50 Invader, single-sided self-adhesive mask is a pre-cut masking set for the clear parts of a model of the Invader from the ICM kit in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit but an accessory thanks to which the framing of the glazing comes out sharp.
Responsibility details are not available.
A self-adhesive masking set from Art Scale intended for a model of the twin-engine Invader in 1:48 scale. The masks are supplied pre-cut to their final shape, so there is no laborious cutting to a template and no laying of strips of adhesive tape directly on the model. The designation single-sided means that the set covers the outer side of the clear parts; the inner surfaces of the framing are touched in with a brush or left in the interior shade. It is an accessory for the ICM kit; the box contains neither the model nor the paints.
What masking solves
Hand-cut tape almost always wrinkles somewhere on broken-up glazing and paint runs under it. A pre-cut mask sits on the outline of the frame, holds a straight edge along its whole length and the result is repeatable even on sets with a great many small panes.
The Douglas Invader was a twin-engine attack bomber with piston radial engines, an all-metal structure and tricycle landing gear. Machines with a solid, unglazed nose carried gun armament in the forward fuselage and were intended for attacks on ground targets. The type stayed in active service for a long time after 1945 and saw a number of modernizations, thanks to which it appears in a wide range of color schemes from bare metal to dark covering finishes.
Wash the clear part first in lukewarm water with detergent, let it dry and do not touch it with your fingers. Lift the mask off the backing with tweezers, seat it along the outline of the frame and press it down with a blunt toothpick, above all along the whole edge, because that is where the paint runs. Spray several very thin coats; one heavy coat runs under sooner than three light ones. It works well to spray the edges of the mask first in the interior shade or in clear varnish, which seals any leaky edge. Take the mask off shortly after the paint has dried, lift it with the tip of a scalpel and pull at an angle rather than straight off the surface.
The box holds masks only. The kit, paints and glue are not included.
