Omask 1:72 Reggiane Re.2000 - wheel bay plugs (for the Italeri kit) are shaped masks in flexible EVA foam that close the bay reliably while spraying. It is not a kit: you have to own the Italeri Re.2000 model.
Responsibility details are not available.
A masking set from Omask, shaped to the wheel bays of the Reggiane Re.2000 model in 1:72 scale from Italeri. The plugs are made of flexible EVA foam. It is NOT a kit: the Italeri Re.2000 model is not included in the package and you have to own it.
In 1:72 Omask makes three different Italian aircraft for Italeri kits: the Re.2000, the Macchi MC.202 and the Re.2002. They are three different aircraft with differently shaped wheel bays and each plug is shaped to one particular kit, so they are not interchangeable. This set is for the Reggiane Re.2000. Do not confuse it with the Re.2002 Ariete: the Re.2000 was a pure fighter from the late 1930s, whereas the Re.2002 is a later fighter-bomber derived from a different airframe.
The wheel bay is a deep cavity that you paint first, and before you start spraying the outside of the model you have to mask it, otherwise you ruin the finished interior. The foam plug is pushed into the bay, compressed and seals the opening by itself, so it holds without glue and does not have to fit to hundredths of a millimeter the way a hard part does. Once the paint has dried you take it out and use it again. It is precisely in 1:72 that the bays are so small, deep and awkward to reach that masking with tape and cotton is the most tiresome job of all, so a shaped plug saves the most work.
The Reggiane Re.2000 (Falco) was an Italian fighter that came about at the end of the 1930s. It was powered by an air-cooled Piaggio radial engine, which gave the machine its characteristic broad, rounded nose. The aircraft handled well, but its engine was considered troublesome and the Regia Aeronautica put it into the front line only to a limited extent: a large share of production went for export.
Paint the bay first and let it cure. Slip the plug in with tweezers, press it down to the outline and spray. The foam also keeps sanding dust from the surroundings out of the painted bay. Take it out only once the outer paint has dried.
The package contains only the masking plugs. The model, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
