About product

A mask set for the most famous Marauder

The templates are cut for both sides of the clear parts, so the frames can be painted from the outside and from the inside. Shapes for the tires come with them. The material is self-adhesive and the individual pieces are already die-cut, so there is no work with a scalpel. The set is prepared by the Liberec brand Art Scale Kit. The cutouts match the parts of the ICM kit the set is used with; with another manufacturer the shapes differ.

The machine that survived the war

Flak Bait was a B-26B bomber of the 322nd Bombardment Group that flew more than two hundred combat missions over occupied Europe, that is more than any other American bomber on the Western Front. It returned damaged again and again, its airframe went through hundreds of repairs and the mechanics gradually replaced two engines and a number of skin panels on it. That is exactly why it became a symbol of the toughness of the medium bombers: the precise daylight attacks on bridges and transport junctions were flown at altitudes where the anti-aircraft artillery did not forgive. The front section of the fuselage has survived and is displayed in the collections of the American national aviation museum.

What to watch out for when painting

The olive upper surfaces and gray undersides are easy to spray, but the border between them tends to be soft, which calls for a free hand or a raised strip. Mask the glazing only after both shades have dried. The rich markings and the mission symbols on the nose call for a smooth gloss base so that the decals do not go matte.

Recommended for

  • anyone interested in specific named historical machines
  • modelers who want a faithful view into the cockpit
  • builds with the gun positions exposed
  • display cases focused on daylight bombing over Europe

It is sold on its own as a masking aid, without plastic and without paints.

FAQ

A B-26B bomber with more than two hundred combat sorties over Europe to its credit. Its forward fuselage is a museum exhibit today.

The cut is based on the shape of the glazing of this type. Differences beyond that are not stated here.

Press the edge of the template down with a blunt tool and spray perpendicularly in thin coats. The paint then will not run under the mask.
