About product

A Lockheed U-2S mask set 1:48

This accessory of the Eduard brand is meant for building a model of the high-altitude reconnaissance machine U-2S in 1:48 scale. The shapes are cut to the frames of the cabin, so the division of colors arises straight from the spray and does not have to be drawn in with a brush. The kit itself is not included.

A reconnaissance aircraft from great altitudes

The U-2S is the present-day version of the Lockheed U-2R with a General Electric F118 turbofan engine. The aircraft with its huge span works at levels where the pilot sits in a pressure suit, and it has its main landing gear arranged in tandem, with jettisonable supports under the wing. The U-2 family has served long-range reconnaissance since the 1950s, and the S version is its modernized continuation.

The procedure when spraying

Models of the U-2 are most often built in an all-black form. It is exactly on a dark area that every uneven edge of a frame is noticed at once, so a mask helps here more than on colorful camouflage. Level the base with a filler primer and apply the black in two passes; a single heavy coat would bring the unevenness out rather than hide it. At the end even the sheen of the whole surface out, so that the area around the glazing does not stand out. Before you start, look the clear parts over against the light; a flaw in a casting can no longer be corrected under dark paint.

Suitable for

  • builders of modern American reconnaissance aviation
  • modelers bothered by a frayed edge of a frame
  • rounding out a part-built machine in a large scale
  • anyone interested in the subject of the Cold War in the air

FAQ

You do not. The contents are a masking accessory for a model of the U-2S; order the kit itself separately.

Grading the shade on the panels and choosing a semi-matte final varnish helps. A purely matte black swallows the detail.

Shortly after the paint dries. The longer they stay in place, the greater the risk that the edge will tear.
