1:48 Hurricane Mk.I - pro modely Airfix (A05127)

Peewit masks for the Hawker Hurricane Mk.I 1:48

A set of precisely pre-cut self-adhesive painting masks for masking the glazing and the canopy frames when spraying. The masks make painting faster and more accurate, so that the resulting edges of the frames are sharp and free of paint bleed. The real subject is the British Hawker Hurricane Mk.I fighter. This is not a kit but an accessory that makes painting a particular model easier. The manufacturer is Peewit.

The real subject

The Hawker Hurricane was a British single-engine fighter which, together with the Spitfire, bore the main burden of the defense during the Battle of Britain. The Mk.I version was an early variant with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, and in the first years of the war it shot down a large share of the enemy machines. Its structure combined a tubular frame with fabric covering over the rear part of the fuselage.

Use

• Clean and degrease the canopy glazing
• Transfer the masks carefully and press them down exactly along the frames
• Apply the paint in thin coats, ideally with an airbrush
• Remove the mask for a clean, sharp edge

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the Hurricane Mk.I in 1:48 scale
• Anyone who wants sharp canopy frames without lengthy masking with tape
• Beginners and advanced modelers

The masks are supplied without paints; paints and glue are not included in the package.
