1:48 F-14A Tomcat windshield TFace

Painting mask F-14A Tomcat windshield TFace in 1:48 scale (Eduard)

A pre-cut self-adhesive mask for the windscreen of the canopy on a model of the F-14A Tomcat carrier fighter, in the TFace version. The TFace designation means that the set holds masks for both the outer and the inner side of the glazing, so you can spray the frames of the windscreen from both sides and create a convincing view into the cockpit. The masks follow the shape of the frames exactly and give sharp paint edges.

The real subject

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American two-seat carrier fighter with a variable-geometry wing. The A version was the first production variant and became an icon of naval aviation. The windscreen forms the fixed front part of the canopy.

Use

• Stick the masks onto both the outer and the inner side of the windscreen.
• Press the edges down to stop paint from seeping underneath.
• Spray the interior color of the frames, then the exterior shade.
• Peel the mask off before the paint has fully hardened.

Who the mask is for

For modelers who want to spray the frames of the windscreen perfectly from both sides. Intended for F-14A Tomcat models in 1:48 scale.

The mask does not hold paints or glue; it serves only for masking while spraying.
