About product

Eduard 1:48 Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero TFace masking set

A set of self-adhesive masks from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for a plastic model of the A6M3 Zero carrier fighter in 1:48 scale. The TFace version holds masks for both sides of the glazing, so the frames of the long cockpit canopy can be sprayed from the outside and from the inside. It is not a model nor a part of one, but an aid for painting.

Why masking is difficult on this type

The cockpit of the A6M has a long glazed canopy divided by a great many narrow frames. Cutting them from masking tape by hand means dozens of strips, on which the width and the direction easily drift apart. A pre-cut mask holds the shape of the frame exactly and once it is lifted the edge stays crisp along its whole length. In 1:48 scale the cockpit is one of the most closely watched parts of a model.

How to work with the masks

First wash and degrease the clear parts, as a mask will not hold on a greasy surface. Move the mask with tweezers, seat it in the pane of glazing and press it down with a soft tool. Mask and spray the inner side with the interior color before you seat the part in the fuselage. Apply the paint in thin coats and take the masks off shortly after it has dried. Glue clear parts with a canopy glue or with white PVA glue; super glue can fog them.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of an A6M3 Zero model in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who want to spray the broken-up cockpit frames from both sides
  • Anyone interested in Japanese carrier aviation of the Second World War
  • Those who do not want to spend hours cutting narrow strips of masking tape

It is an accessory for a plastic model, not a kit. The model itself and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. You are buying only the masking set; the model is a separate product.

The cockpit frames are visible from the inside. The inner masks make it possible to spray them with the interior color, so that no clear plastic shows through anywhere.

The masks are cut to a particular model. Check their suitability for a particular kit on the packaging of the set, or in the manufacturer's catalog.

Take them off shortly after the paint has dried. After a longer time the adhesive releases less easily and the finish risks damage.
