About product

Eduard 1:48 He 162A-2 Spatz - masking set

This item is an accessory for painting, not a kit. You get a sheet of self-adhesive masks whose outlines are pre-cut to fit the clear parts of a particular kit in 1:48 scale. The material is kabuki tape — the thin Japanese masking tape that Eduard uses for its masks. It clings even to the glossy surface of a canopy, and yet after spraying it can be peeled off calmly, without tearing the dried paint away underneath.

Use

  • Instead of laboriously cutting tape into strips, you lift out a finished shape with tweezers that matches the canopy framing — so the sprayed frame gets a straight, sharply defined edge.
  • The canopy of the He 162 is small and its framing is fine; masking areas that small by hand takes a long time and the knife easily slips.
  • The sequence: press the mask down, spray the frame color (typically the interior shade first), let it dry thoroughly and only then take the mask off.
  • We recommend covering the remaining open areas of the clear part with a piece of tape or masking fluid, to protect them from overspray haze.
  • Do not reapply a mask once it has been removed — the adhesive is designed for a single use.

The real subject

The Heinkel He 162 Spatz, meaning sparrow, was a German jet fighter from the very end of the Second World War. You can spot it at a glance: a single jet engine mounted on top of the fuselage spine, behind the cockpit. The design was rushed through in extreme haste and made heavy savings on strategic metals — a number of parts were wooden. The aircraft was meant to be built in large numbers and, as originally envisaged, to be flown even by pilots with minimal training, which proved illusory in practice. It saw only marginal combat use.

Who it is for

For the modeler who is building the He 162A-2 in 1:48 scale and does not want to risk smeared canopy frames or scratches on the glazing. The masks are tied by their cut to a particular kit, so check which kit this set is intended for.

This is not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

You do not. This is only a masking set for the glazing. The kit, the paints and the glue all have to be bought separately.

The shapes are cut in advance and follow the canopy framing exactly. That removes the measuring, the cutting and the knife work on a clear part, where every scratch stays visible forever.

Kabuki tape has low tack and is made for exactly this: once the paint is dry it comes off without lifting the finish and without leaving adhesive behind.
