Avia B-534, fourth version: pre-cut painting masks 1:72 from Peewit

A set of precisely pre-cut self-adhesive painting masks in 1:72 scale from the Czech maker Peewit. Made of thin masking (washi) tape, they follow the layout of the frames of the enclosed canopy of the Avia B-534 fighter biplane of the fourth production series and are usually accompanied by circular masks for the wheels. It is neither a kit nor a model: it is a masking accessory for clean, quick spraying of the glazing. The pre-shaped pieces replace laborious cutting of tape.

The real subject

The Avia B-534 was a Czechoslovak fighter biplane of the 1930s, regarded as one of the best machines of its category. The fourth production series received an enclosed pilot cockpit with glazing, which is exactly what needs masking.

Use and tips

• Lift the mask off the carrier film with tweezers and press it onto the part, into the engraved lines of the frames.
• Spray the shade of the frames first, the cockpit interior color, and only after it has dried the outer finish.
• Check that the set matches the enclosed cockpit of the fourth series, not the earlier open arrangement.
• Remove the masks while the paint is still fresh so they do not pull the surrounding coat away.
• Use the circular masks on the wheel rims.

Who the masks are for

For modelers in 1:72 scale who want clean framing of the enclosed cockpit on this biplane without laborious cutting of tape.

It is a masking accessory, not a kit. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
