1:48 Hs 126 double-sided mask (for ICM / Italeri)

Henschel Hs 126 - double-sided mask 1:48 (Omask)

A set of precisely cut masking pieces of kabuki tape for covering the cockpit glazing while spraying and varnishing. The double-sided version covers the frames of the cockpit from the outer and from the inner side, so that the frames stay in the interior color on the inside and in the camouflage color on the outside. The set is prepared for a model of the Henschel Hs 126 from the ICM or Italeri kit in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit or parts of a model: it is an accessory for easy, clean painting.

The real subject

The Henschel Hs 126 was a German reconnaissance and observation high-wing aircraft with fixed landing gear, used by the Luftwaffe especially in the first years of the Second World War. Its characteristic glazed cockpit and braced wing make it a rewarding subject for collectors of interwar and early wartime aircraft.

Use

• Transfer the pieces from the sheet and lay them precisely on the frames of the glazing.
• Spray the paint in thin coats, best with an airbrush.
• Lift the mask off carefully once it is dry; it leaves no sticky residue.
• Press the edges down gently before spraying for a crisp transition.

Who it is for

• Modelers building this model in 1:48 scale.
• Everyone who wants crisp cockpit frames without going round them by hand.

It is a masking accessory, not a model. Paints, glue and the model are not included in the package.
