1:48 EA-18G Growler BASIC kabuki masks

New Ware 1:48 EA-18G Growler BASIC masks (kabuki)

A set of pre-cut self-adhesive New Ware masks in 1:48 scale for painting a model of the American carrier-based Boeing EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft. The masks are die-cut from thin kabuki (washi) paper with a light adhesive that holds on the glazing and leaves no marks. This is neither a kit nor a finished model, it is an accessory for spraying the clear parts and further areas cleanly. The BASIC designation is the basic level of the set.

What the set contains and how to use it

• Masks for the canopy (the clear parts)
• Masks for the wheels, for a clean separation of tire and rim
• The more detailed ADVANCED and EXPERT levels add masks for the frames and for the inner face of the canopy respectively
• Stick the mask onto a clean, degreased surface, spray the paint and lift it off carefully once dry

The real subject

The Boeing EA-18G Growler is an American carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft derived from the two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet. It serves to jam enemy radars and communications and to suppress air defenses. The US Navy operates it and it is a key part of its strike groups.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the EA-18G Growler in 1:48 scale
• Anyone who wants sharp color transitions on the glazing without laborious taping
• Beginners and advanced builders working with an airbrush or a brush

This is a set of masks, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package. The masks are cut for a specific model of this aircraft in this scale, so make sure they match your kit before buying.
