1:48 Focke-Wulf Ta 152 H one-sided express mask for Hobby2000, Dragon

Focke-Wulf Ta 152 H, single-sided express mask from Art Scale in 1:48

The Focke-Wulf Ta 152 H single-sided express mask from Art Scale in 1:48 is a set of precisely pre-cut self-adhesive masks in kabuki film from the Czech manufacturer Art Scale. It contains neither a model nor paint: it serves for quick and clean masking of the cockpit glazing and, as a rule, of the wheels as well while spraying. The single-sided form masks the outer side of the glazing.

The real subject

The Focke-Wulf Ta 152 H was a German high-altitude fighter from the end of the Second World War, derived from the Fw 190. A long wing of great span and a supercharged engine gave it performance at high altitude; it saw combat only in small numbers. The bubble canopy with its frames is a rewarding target for precise masking, which this set simplifies.

Use

• Peel off the individual numbered masks and transfer them onto clean, degreased glazing.
• The mask follows the frames precisely, so all you have to do is spray over it in the color of the cockpit frames.
• The single-sided form covers the outer surfaces; we recommend painting the inside of the cockpit before you close the canopy up.
• We recommend a sharp modeling knife, tweezers and applying the paint in thin coats.

Who it is for

• Modelers who want crisp transitions at the frames without the tedious sticking of tape.
• Builders of the given 1:48 model of the Ta 152 H fighter for whom masking the outer side is enough.

The set is intended for one particular 1:48 kit of the Ta 152 H fighter; the dimensions match its glazing. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
