About product

Eduard F8F masks 1:48

This pre-cut self-adhesive Eduard masking set in 1:48 scale is intended for a plastic model of the American F8F Bearcat carrier fighter. It is not a kit and it is not a model in its own right, but a set of precisely shaped masks made of thin yellow masking tape (kabuki). The masks will be appreciated by modelers who want sharp paint transitions on the glazing, the wheels and the camouflage areas without lengthy cutting of tape by hand.

The real subject

The Grumman F8F Bearcat is an American carrier-based piston fighter from the end of the Second World War. It was built as a compact, light airframe around a powerful radial engine to achieve an excellent rate of climb and agility. It saw practically no combat during the war, but afterwards it served with the Navy and became known as one of the highest-performing piston fighters of its time.

Use and tips

Degrease the glazing of the bubble canopy. Take the masks off the backing and lay them on the frame of the windshield and of the sliding section, pressing them into the edges. Spray the paint with an airbrush in thin coats. The wheel masks separate the tire from the rim. Once the paint is dry, peel the masks off carefully at a sharp angle.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers of American carrier fighters
  • Those who want a sharp frame on the bubble canopy
  • Builders who paint with an airbrush
  • Anyone after a clean separation of the wheels during painting

The package contains masks only. The model, paints, glue and decals are not included, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a set of self-adhesive masks in 1:48 scale. It is used to mask the glazing, the wheels and the camouflage areas during spraying; the model itself and the paints are not in the package.

The masks are cut from thin yellow masking tape, which follows shapes well and, once the paint is dry, can be peeled off cleanly without leaving adhesive behind.

The masks are shaped for one particular kit, because the dimensions of the glazing frames differ from one manufacturer to another. Check that they fit your model before you buy.
