About product

Wheel bay plugs 1:48 Brewster Buffalo, Omask

Wheel bay plugs from Omask for a model of the Brewster Buffalo fighter in 1:48 scale. These are neither a glazing mask nor extra parts for the model: they are shaped plugs that go into the open landing gear bays and close them off for as long as the model is being sprayed. Without them paint runs into the bay, where it is then either visible or has to be laboriously painted over. The set is cut for the Tamiya kit, because the shape of the bays differs from kit to kit and a plug from another kit will not seat.

The real subject

The Brewster Buffalo was an American single-engined carrier fighter of the late 1930s, one of the first all-metal monoplanes with retractable landing gear in US Navy service. In the fighting in the Pacific it did not make its mark against more modern opponents, yet in Finnish service it earned a reputation that nobody would have credited it with on its results elsewhere. That very contradiction is what gives the type its lasting place among modelers.

How to use the plugs

  • Finish and paint the bay first, and only then close it with the plug
  • Fit the plug so that it is flush with the outline of the bay, not standing out of it
  • Before spraying, check that there is no gap between the plug and the edge of the bay
  • Take the plug out carefully after spraying, so that it does not lift fresh paint from the edge
  • Leave the plugs in the bay while the clear coat and the matte coat go on too

Who the set is for

For modelers building the Brewster Buffalo in 1:48 scale on the kit named, who want clean landing gear bays and do not want to deal with them by stuffing in paper tissues and masking tape. It is a small thing that nobody praises on a finished model, but its absence shows at once.

FAQ

It is not. These are plugs for the landing gear bays, that is for the space the wheels retract into. This set does not deal with the glazing.

The shape of the landing gear bays differs from kit to kit, so the plugs only seat in what they are cut for. With this set that is the Tamiya kit.

Only after the bay is finished and painted, just before the outer surfaces of the model are sprayed. Leave them in while the clear coat and matte coat go on as well.

Not if it is taken out carefully. The key is to remove the plug before the paint has fully cured and not to drag it across the edge.
