About product

Art Scale 1:48 FM-1 express fit mask, the single-sided form

A set of masking templates in 1:48 scale for the FM-1 carrier fighter from the Czech maker Art Scale. It is not a kit and not spare parts for a model, but an aid for painting: the templates bound the frames of the glazed cockpit, so after spraying the glazing stays clean and the edges of the frames sharp. The name gives the one-sided form, that is single-sided, which within this range tells the set apart from the double-sided variant. The full extent of the set is stated on the box.

The real subject

The FM-1 is the license version of Grumman's Wildcat carrier fighter, built by the Eastern Aircraft division of General Motors. Against the original F4F-4 it carried lighter armament with four machine guns, which increased the ammunition supply per gun. It was powered by an R-1830 radial engine and, thanks to its folding wings and undemanding operation, the machine proved itself above all on small escort carriers. In British service it flew under the designation Martlet Mk.V.

How to use the masks

  • First rid the glazing of grease and let it dry completely.
  • Transfer the templates with tweezers and press their edges down with a toothpick or a blunt tool.
  • Apply the paint in several light coats so that it does not creep under the edge.
  • Take the templates off soon after spraying, while the finish is still fresh.
  • Proceed from the cockpit shade through the frame to the final color of the airframe.

Who the set is for

It suits modelers who want a sharp transition on the cockpit frames and do not want to cut them laboriously out of tape. It saves the most time on glazing with a great many tiny frames and will serve even a beginner who is trying spraying through templates for the first time.

FAQ

It is not. It is a set of masking templates which serves for painting a model already built; it holds no parts of the aircraft itself.

It is the single-sided form. With it the brand tells the set apart within this range from the double-sided variant, which it makes as a separate set.

It is the Wildcat built under license by the Eastern Aircraft division of General Motors, with four machine guns and use chiefly from escort carriers.

It works well to start with the interior shade of the cockpit, then the color of the frame and finally the airframe finish, so that the layers showing through do not meet at the edges.
