1:48 P-47D-20

Eduard painting mask P-47D-20 Thunderbolt 1:48

A painting mask from Eduard in 1:48 scale. This is not a kit but a modeling accessory, a set of precisely shaped self-adhesive masks made of fine masking tape. The masks follow exactly the framing of the canopy and the circles of the wheels, so they allow quick and clean spraying without lengthy cutting. The subject is the American P-47D Thunderbolt fighter, specifically the D-20 version with the original raised fuselage spine, the razorback. The model itself is bought separately and is not included in the package.

The real subject

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt is an American heavy single-seat fighter of the Second World War. It excelled in toughness, heavy firepower and the ability to attack ground targets. The D-20 version belongs to the configuration with the raised rear fuselage spine, the razorback, still before the bubble canopy was introduced.

Use

• Carefully take the masks off the sheet and stick them precisely onto the canopy glazing and the wheels of the model.
• Press the edges down carefully so that paint cannot creep under them, then spray the color of the frames.
• Once the paint has dried, peel the masks off, which gives you sharp and clean edges.
• They are used on an assembled model that already has its base coat.

Who it is for

• For modelers building the P-47D-20 Thunderbolt in 1:48 scale.
• For anyone who wants clean masking of the glazing and the wheels without preparing masks by hand.

An accessory for modelers. The model, the paints and the glue are not included in the package.
