1:72 A-20G/K Havoc/Boston MASK

Painting mask for the Douglas A-20G/K Havoc/Boston 1:72

A set of die-cut self-adhesive masks in 1:72 scale for masking the clear parts and the landing gear wheels of the twin-engine Douglas A-20 bomber in the late G and K versions (Boston Mk.IV), that is, the machines with a dorsal gun turret. They can be used on versions with a glazed nose as well as with a solid (attack) nose.

The real subject

The Douglas A-20 Havoc (Boston in British service) was an American light attack bomber of the Second World War. The late A-20G and A-20K variants carried heavy armament in the nose and a dorsal gun turret; the Soviet Air Force used them in large numbers as well.

Use

• Lift the masks with tweezers and lay them exactly on the canopy, the glazing and the other clear parts.
• Press the edges down and spray over the area; the masks can also be used to mask the landing gear wheels.
• Once the paint is dry, remove the masks carefully.

Who it is for

For modelers building the A-20 in 1:72 scale who want sharp transitions on the canopy frames without laborious cutting by hand.

This is an accessory to a kit, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
