1.48 MiG-25 RBT EXPERT masks

New Ware MiG-25 RBT EXPERT masks 1:48

A set of self-adhesive painting masks (kabuki) from New Ware in 1:48 scale for a model of the fast MiG-25 RBT reconnaissance-bomber. The EXPERT version is the most complete variant: it holds canopy glazing masks, inner and outer, including the frame sealant color, masks for the landing gear wheels and, on top of that, masks for further small features, for example the landing lights, the anti-glare panel and other black areas. The parts are numbered and come with a placement diagram.

The real subject

The MiG-25, NATO reporting name Foxbat, was a Soviet twin-engine aircraft famous for its high speed and ceiling. The RBT version belongs among the reconnaissance-bomber standards, which carried reconnaissance equipment as well as the ability to bomb from high altitude. A structure of largely welded steel allowed flight at high supersonic speeds.

Usage tips

Peel the masks carefully off the sheet, lay them down by their numbers and press them home. Apply the paint in thin coats, ideally with an airbrush, so that it does not bleed under the edge. Spray the frame color first, then the final camouflage. Once it has dried, lift the masks off carefully.

Who the set is for

• For builders of the MiG-25 RBT model in 1:48 scale
• For modelers who want the glazing, the wheels and the small features masked completely
• For advanced modelers looking for the most complete mask variant
• As a way to make painting quicker and more accurate

This is a set of masks, not a model. The aircraft model and the paints are not included in the package.
