1:72 B-25C/D Mitchell one-sided for Airfix

Art Scale 1:72 B-25C/D Mitchell - single-sided spray mask

A set of pre-cut masking templates in kabuki tape (a Japanese washi paper material) intended for a plastic model of the B-25C/D Mitchell bomber in 1:72 scale. The mask is cut to fit a particular kit of this type and serves for a clean spray job on the cockpit frames, the glazed areas and the wheels. It is the single-sided variant, which covers the outer, visible side of the glazing.

How the mask works

• Pre-cut, numbered parts with instructions for easy placement.
• Kabuki tape adheres without letting paint seep under and leaves crisp, straight frame edges.
• It covers the clear cockpit parts and the tires for an accurate transition between hub and rubber.
• Ideal for both an airbrush and a spray can; once dry, the film peels off easily with no adhesive residue.

The real subject

The North American B-25 Mitchell was an American twin-engine medium bomber of the Second World War. The early C and D versions became known for their service in the Pacific and in Europe, and the whole type entered history through the raid on Tokyo in 1942.

Who the mask is for

• Modelers who want a perfectly sprayed cockpit without painting the frames by hand.
• Builders who will appreciate the time saved compared with applying strips of ordinary tape.

The set contains masking films only. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
