1:72 B-24D

B-24D Liberator masking set 1:72 (Eduard)

A die-cut self-adhesive masking set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for a model of the American four-engine heavy bomber Consolidated B-24D Liberator in 1:72 scale. This is not a model but a set of pre-cut masks for precise painting of the extensive glazing and the other details.

The real subject

The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was an American four-engine heavy bomber of the Second World War, built in greater numbers than any other American bomber. The B-24D version belonged to the early combat forms and it became famous, for instance, for the raids on the oil refineries at Ploiesti.

Use

• Separate the individual masks from the sheet and stick them precisely onto the glazing frames.
• Press the edges of the masks down firmly with a wooden stick or a toothpick so that no paint creeps underneath.
• Spray or brush the areas and carefully lift the masks off once the paint has dried.
• Make use of the masks for the wheel rims and the other small curved areas as well, where straight tape is hard to shape.

Who it is for

The set will be appreciated by modelers who build American heavy bombers of the Second World War in 1:72 scale and want sharp, cleanly separated glazing frames without the long job of masking by hand with tape. It suits beginners and experienced builders of display models alike.

This is a die-cut masking set, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included unless stated otherwise.
