1:48 Spitfire Mk.IXc double-sided express fit mask for Eduard

Art Scale 1:48 masking set, Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc

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 the plastic Spitfire Mk.IXc kit from Eduard in 1:48 scale. The double-sided form masks the outer and the inner side of the glazing.

The real subject

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX was a British fighter of the Second World War, powered by a two-stage Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. The version with the C type wing carried mixed armament and was among the most widespread Spitfires. The framed canopy and the wheels are rewarding parts for pre-cut masks.

Use

• Transfer the part with tweezers onto degreased glass and press the edges down.
• Fit the inner masks before the cockpit is closed up.
• Spray the frame in thin coats to prevent bleed.
• The wheel masks separate the tire from the hub.

Who the set is for

• Builders of British fighters of the Second World War.
• Modelers who want sharp frames with no cutting by hand.

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