1:48 Mil Mi-17Hip double-sided express mask for AMK

Art Scale 1:48 masking set, Mil Mi-17 Hip

A set of pre-cut self-adhesive masks in quality kabuki film, not a kit. The parts are numbered and come with instructions giving their exact placement. The set is cut to fit a particular plastic kit of the Mi-17 helicopter in 1:48 scale. The double-sided form masks the outer and the inner side of the glazing, which is particularly useful on an extensive flight deck and the side windows. The mask is cut for the AMK kit.

The real subject

The Mil Mi-17, known under the NATO reporting name Hip, is a Soviet and Russian twin-engined medium transport helicopter widespread all over the world in civil and military service. It has an extensively glazed flight deck and a row of windows in the cargo compartment, whose masking by hand takes a great deal of time.

Use

• Transfer the part with tweezers onto degreased glass and press the edges down.
• Fit the inner masks before the fuselage is closed up.
• Spray the frames in thin coats to prevent bleed.
• Work window by window according to the numbering.

Who the set is for

• Builders of helicopters with extensive glazing.
• Modelers who want to save time masking many windows.

The set contains no paints and no model. It is an accessory to a plastic kit.
