1:48 SPAD XIII

SPAD XIII painting masks 1:48 (Eduard)

This is not a kit but a set of painting (masking) masks of the Eduard brand in 1:48 scale. The masks are precisely die-cut from yellow kabuki paper (Japanese masking paper) and are self-adhesive. They serve for clean spraying of the wheels, the national insignia and other features of the French SPAD XIII biplane fighter. On biplanes of the First World War the masks come into their own above all on the wheels and the national insignia. The model itself is obtained separately and is not included in the package.

The real subject

The SPAD XIII was a French single-seat biplane fighter of the First World War powered by a Hispano-Suiza engine. It ranked among the most successful fighters of its day and many Allied aces flew it.

Use

• You lay the mask on the place concerned on the model and mask the surroundings.
• You spray the paint over the mask, and once it is peeled off crisp transitions remain.
• It is suitable above all for the frames of the canopy and for the wheels.
• It is used on a dried base coat on the model.

Who the set is for

• For modelers building the SPAD XIII biplane in 1:48 scale.
• For anyone interested in clean masking without laborious cutting from tape.
• For intermediate and advanced modelers.

This is an accessory (a masking set), not a model. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
