About product

TBM-3 Avenger Painting Masks - Eduard set, 1:48 scale

A set of precisely cut self-adhesive painting masks from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for a model of the American TBM-3 Avenger carrier-based torpedo bomber in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit or a model - it is an accessory that makes it easier to paint the extensive glazing and other areas cleanly. The masks are applied directly to the parts, so the complex framing of the long greenhouse canopy and of the dorsal gun turret gains sharp straight edges with no laborious cutting of adhesive tape. Sets of this type usually also hold circular masks for the wheel hubs.

The real subject

The Avenger was an American carrier-based torpedo bomber of the Second World War; the TBM version was built under license by the car maker General Motors to the original Grumman design. It was a robust three-seat aircraft with a spacious bomb bay, a long glazed cockpit and a dorsal gun turret, and it became the main torpedo aircraft of the US Navy in the Pacific. It is exactly that extensive glazing that makes masks an especially useful accessory on this type.

Tips for using the masks

Carefully lift the mask off the backing with tweezers or the tip of a knife and place it on a dry, degreased surface. Press the edges down carefully so that no paint creeps under them. Apply the paint in thin coats, ideally with an airbrush, and lift the mask before the coat has hardened completely. On strongly curved shapes it helps to back the edge with liquid mask.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers of the TBM-3 Avenger torpedo bomber in 1:48 scale
  • Those who want sharp and clean framing of the glazing and the turret
  • Builders who want to avoid cutting tape by hand
  • Collectors of Eduard accessories

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

FAQ

No. It is a set of cut self-adhesive masks in 1:48 scale that you use when painting a TBM-3 Avenger model. The kit itself is not included in the package.

They cover the frames of the long cockpit glazing, the dorsal turret and other areas, so that spraying leaves a sharp division between frame and clear glazing. Sets of this type usually also hold masks for the wheel hubs.

Paints, glue and the model itself are not included. An airbrush or a brush, tweezers and, on strongly curved shapes, liquid mask are useful.
