1:48 Mask Tornado F.3 ADV,IDS,GR.4 EXPERT (REV)

A set of masks for the Tornado F.3, IDS and GR.4 in 1:48 scale, the Expert variant

Precisely cut masking films from the manufacturer New Ware intended for kits of the Panavia Tornado in 1:48 scale. The set allows for the F.3 versions (the ADV fighter variant), the IDS strike version and the modernized GR.4, so you can use it on several forms of this type. The Expert variant represents the fullest grade of the line: besides the basic masking of the cabin canopy and the wheels, it also aims at other airframe details.

The real subject

The Panavia Tornado is a two-seat combat aircraft with a variable-geometry wing, created in a joint program of the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy. The IDS strike version was built for penetration at low altitude, the F.3 (ADV) served as the air defense fighter variant and the GR.4 is the modernized strike form of the Royal Air Force. The busy glazing of the two-seat cabin makes the Tornado an ideal candidate for good masks.

Use

• Lift the mask off the backing sheet with tweezers and lay it on a clean, degreased surface.
• Smooth the edges down carefully, so that paint does not creep under, and spray in light coats.
• Once the paint has dried, carefully take the film off; the lines stay sharp and uniform.
• The masks on the frames of the cabin canopy bring the greatest saving of time.

Who it is for

For modelers who build the Tornado in 1:48 scale and want to achieve a clean, professional-looking spray without tedious masking by hand. The fullest Expert variant will please above all advanced builders who want the small details covered too.

This is a masking accessory, not a standalone model kit. The set is intended for particular kits of the given type; check compatibility with your kit before ordering.
