1:48 Sukhoi Su-57 Frazor TFace

Eduard 1:48 Sukhoi Su-57 TFace - spray masks

This is a set of precisely shaped self-adhesive masks from Eduard (a Czech maker) in 1:48 scale. It is neither a model nor parts of one - the set serves for quick, clean masking of the glazed areas and other parts before spraying with paint. The TFace designation means that the set contains masks for the outer and the inner side of the glazing, so you can spray the cockpit frames neatly from both sides.

What it is for

The masks are cut from kabuki tape (a fine yellow masking paper), which holds well, follows the shape and leaves no adhesive residue when removed. They replace slow masking with adhesive tape and give sharp transitions on the frames and the covers.

Use and tips

• Apply the parts to clean, degreased cockpit glazing and press any air bubbles out.
• Cover the exposed areas with tape or masking fluid, then spray thin coats of paint.
• Remove the masks soon after the paint has dried, while the coat is still flexible, to avoid tearing the edges.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the Su-57 in 1:48 scale who want clean cockpit frames.
• Those who mask the glazing from both sides (TFace) for a realistic look.
• Anyone who wants to save time against masking with tape by hand.

The set contains masks only. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
