1:72 Auster Antarctic

Auster Antarctic 1:72 (Peewit)

This is a set of precisely shaped self-adhesive painting masks from the Czech manufacturer Peewit, intended for a model of the light Auster aircraft in polar configuration in 1:72 scale. The masks cover the cockpit glazing from the inside as well as the outside, which with this type and its sizeable glazing is a great advantage. They are cut from fine masking paper, which follows the rounded frames well and leaves no adhesive residue when removed.

The real subject

The Auster was a British light observation and liaison aircraft. In the version for polar regions it served on Antarctic expeditions, where its simple structure and its ability to operate from improvised surfaces came into their own.

Use

• You stick the masks onto the glazing parts according to the enclosed diagram.
• Masking on the inside as well as the outside makes it possible to separate the interior color and the airframe color cleanly.
• Once the paint has dried you carefully remove the masks and get sharp frames.

Who the set is for

For modelers who want to paint the broken-up glazing of an Auster model in 1:72 scale precisely, without laborious masking by hand.

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