1:48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I

The painting masks Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I in 1:48 scale (Eduard)

A set of precisely pre-cut masks of kabuki paper from the Czech manufacturer Eduard. It serves to mask the glazing of the cockpit (the pilot's canopy, the windscreen) and as a rule also the wheels of the landing gear during spraying. The masks hold without the paint running under and leave no remains of adhesive after removal. This is an accessory for a model, not a kit.

The real subject

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I was the first production version of the famous British fighter with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. It was precisely the Mk.I that bore the main burden of the fighting in the Battle of Britain and became a symbol of the British fighter force.

Use

• Transfer the masks from the sheet and seat them precisely on the frames of the glazing and on the wheels.
• Cover the glazed areas between the frames with offcuts of film or with masking fluid.
• Spray in thin coats, so that the paint does not run under.
• Remove the masks while the paint is tacky for a sharp transition.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the Spitfire Mk.I in 1:48 scale who want quick and clean masking.

This is a standalone set of masks. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
