About product

New Ware 1:48 Mask P-51B Mustang BASIC

The basic mask set for the model of the fighter P-51B Mustang in 1:48 scale. The masks are pre-cut from a self-adhesive sheet to the shape of the parts of the particular Tamiya 61042 kit. The BASIC step denotes the extent of the set: it covers the main glazed areas, while the extended steps add further elements for some of the sets.

A framed canopy in 1:48 scale

The P-51B version differs from the later Mustangs in the shape of the cockpit canopy. The frames are narrow and run over curves, so cutting tape by hand calls for a steady hand, a sharp knife and plenty of patience. A pre-cut mask saves most of that work and the edge comes out straight even where a frame breaks over a curve. It is one of the simplest ways to lift the level of the model markedly.

The real subject

The P-51B is a fighter powered by a V12 engine, which markedly improved its performance at greater altitudes compared with the earlier versions of the Mustang. The characteristic feature of this version is the framed cockpit canopy, replaced on the later machines by a bubble canopy.

Work tips

  • Do not wash the clear parts with aggressive cleaners before masking; lukewarm water with detergent is enough.
  • Take the masks off the sheet with tweezers, as fingerprints weaken the tack.
  • Press the mask down on the edges of the frame and work in small sections on curves.
  • Spray a thin coat of the interior color and then the outer shade.
  • Once any adhesive residue is off, go over the glass with a cotton swab moistened in water.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the Mustang who want a cockpit with no uneven edges.
  • Modelers looking for a straightforward improvement to the result of the model.
  • Beginners who are only starting out with masking glazing.

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

FAQ

No. The P-51B version has a framed cockpit canopy of a different shape from the later P-51D with its bubble canopy, so the masks fit only the model of the version named.

BASIC is the basic extent of the set, aimed at the main glazed areas. The exact list of elements is given on the packaging; the extended steps hold further masks for some of the sets.

With ordinary use it will not. If a trace is left after all, it can be wiped off with a cotton swab moistened in lukewarm water; do not use aggressive solvents on clear parts.
