1:48 Reggiane Re.2005 — a masking set for the glazing, outside and inside is a set of self-adhesive masks from Montex, not a kit. It serves to define the canopy frames accurately before spraying.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a set of self-adhesive masks for a model of the Italian Reggiane Re.2005 fighter in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit and not a decal sheet but an accessory for painting: the masks cover the glazed areas and leave only the canopy frames open, so that they can be sprayed in the same color as the surrounding skin. According to the name the set is in two parts in the sense that it deals with both the outside and the inside of the cockpit.
The canopy frames are visible on a finished model from inside as well, and in reality they tend to be a different shade from the outside — usually the interior color inside and camouflage outside. When only the outside is masked, bare plastic shows through the clear part and the cockpit looks flat. Working with the inside masks takes more effort, but the result is markedly more credible, especially on a model in 1:48 scale, where you can see well into the cockpit.
Wash the clear part first in lukewarm water with a drop of detergent and let it dry in the open air — grease from fingers is the commonest reason a mask holds badly. Move the masks with tweezers or the tip of a scalpel, seat them dry and only then press them down with a soft wooden stick, above all in the curves, where the film tends to lift. It works well to spray a thin covering coat in the interior color or clear varnish first: it seals the edge of the mask and any run-under then does not show. Lay the color itself on in several light coats, as a heavy coat creates a step at the edge. Lift the masks soon after they are dry, with a pull at a shallow angle to the surface.
The set holds masks only. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
