1:48 T-38C Talon NASA ADVANCED kabuki masks

New Ware T-38C Talon NASA ADVANCED kabuki masks 1:48

A set of accurately cut self-adhesive masks from New Ware in 1:48 scale. The kabuki masks of fine washi (rice paper) tape follow the shape of the part well, come off easily and leave no adhesive. The ADVANCED level covers the inner and outer framing of the canopy glazing including masks for the sealant color, and further masks for the wheels and other clear parts. The NASA version matches the striking white-and-blue scheme of the agency. It is an accessory for painting, not an aircraft model.

The real subject

The Northrop T-38 Talon is a two-seat supersonic jet trainer. In the T-38C standard and in its white-and-blue scheme it has long been operated by NASA, where it serves to keep astronauts current in flying and as a chase aircraft. The elegant, slender airframe is among the most widely used jet trainers of its era.

Use

• Lift the mask off the sheet, set it exactly and press it down on the part
• Spray the paint in thin coats against bleeding under the edge
• Remove the masks shortly after the paint has dried
• They allow a clean separation of the canopy frames and the wheel colors

Who the set is for

• For builders of jet trainers in 1:48 scale
• For modelers who want sharp transitions without masking by hand
• For a build painted with an airbrush
• For enthusiasts of NASA aviation hardware

This is a set of painting masks, not a model. The paints, the glue and the model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
