B-26B/C Marauder masking set 1:72 (Eduard)

A die-cut self-adhesive masking set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for a model of the American twin-engine medium bomber Martin B-26B/C Marauder in 1:72 scale. This is not a model but a set of pre-cut masks that make it easier to paint the framing of the glazed cockpit, the gun positions and the other glazed areas of the bomber.

The real subject

The Martin B-26 Marauder was an American twin-engine medium bomber of the Second World War. It was marked by a streamlined fuselage and a high landing speed, which at first earned it a wary reputation among crews, but it later became one of the most reliable bombers used over Europe and the Mediterranean.

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 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.
