1:48 FJ-4 and FJ-4B Fury EXPERT kabuki masks

New Ware 1:48 FJ-4 and FJ-4B Fury EXPERT 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 North American FJ-4 and FJ-4B Fury. 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 EXPERT designation is the most complete level of the set.

What the set contains and how to use it

• Masks for the canopy from the outside and the inside including the glazing frames
• Masks for the wheels, for a clean separation of tire and rim
• The EXPERT level is more detailed than the BASIC and ADVANCED variants
• Stick the mask onto a clean, degreased surface, spray the paint and lift it off carefully once dry

The real subject

The North American FJ-4 Fury was an American carrier-based fighter with swept wings from the 1950s, operated by the US Navy and the Marine Corps. The FJ-4B version was adapted for attacks on ground targets and carried underwing stores. The type grew out of the Sabre and Fury family and belonged to the first generation of carrier-based jets.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the FJ-4 or the FJ-4B Fury in 1:48 scale
• Anyone who wants perfectly clean glazing, including the inner face of the canopy
• Advanced and moderately experienced builders working with an airbrush

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.
