About product

Eduard 1:48 Blenheim Mk.IF: masking set

This is not a kit but a set of self-adhesive masks cut exactly to the shape of the glazing of a model of the Blenheim Mk.IF fighter version in 1:48 scale. The masks are cut into thin masking film on a carrier sheet, so it is enough to lift them off with tweezers and stick them onto the part. The Blenheim has extensive glazing on the nose and the cockpit with a great many small panes, and it is precisely there that ready-made masks save the most time.

How the masks work

The material follows the gentle curvature of a part and sits down even in the corners, where ordinary flat tape ripples and paint runs underneath it. Besides the glazing, the set usually also holds discs for masking the tires, so the hub can be sprayed without going around it by hand. After spraying, the film peels off and leaves a sharp edge with no fraying.

Usage tips

Degrease the part before masking and let it dry completely. Lift the mask from the sheet with sharp tweezers or the point of a scalpel, lay it on and press it down with a wooden toothpick so that it does not get scratched. Spray the interior cockpit color first, then the base shade of the airframe. Apply the paint in several thin coats, as a heavy coat will build a step at the edge. Remove the masks while the paint has only just dried, and do it with an oblique pull rather than straight up.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of models with a great many glazed panes
  • Modelers who want sharp, straight cockpit frames
  • Anyone who does not want to spend hours cutting tape
  • Competition builders, where the cleanliness of the glazing shows at first glance

This is an accessory, not a model of the aircraft. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

It is not. It is a masking set for a model. The Blenheim Mk.IF kit in 1:48 scale has to be bought separately.

They are intended for a single use. Once lifted they lose their tack and may tear.

Ideally shortly after the paint has dried. In a fully cured coat the edge peels away more easily beyond the line of the mask as well.

Yes. The most demanding part is handling the smallest panes with tweezers; the sticking down itself is simple.
