1:72 Bloch MB-152, MB-151 - pro modely RS models

Bloch MB-152 / MB-151 — die-cut painting masks 1:72, manufacturer Peewit

A set of precisely die-cut self-adhesive painting masks in 1:72 scale from the Czech manufacturer Peewit. The masks in thin masking (washi) tape follow the layout of the canopy frames of the French Bloch MB-152 and MB-151 fighters and are usually complemented by circular masks for the wheels. It is neither a kit nor a model — it is a masking accessory for a clean and quick spraying of the glazing. The pre-shaped pieces replace laborious cutting of tape.

The real subject

The Bloch MB-151 and MB-152 were French single-seat fighters with a Gnome-Rhône radial engine. They were used above all during the Battle of France in 1940. They were sturdy and robust machines, although in performance they lagged behind their contemporary opponents.

Use and tips

• Lift the mask off the backing film with tweezers and press it onto the part into the engraved lines of the frames.
• Spray the shade of the frames (the cockpit interior color) first and only then, once dry, the outer camouflage.
• Check the orientation of the canopy — the masks match the particular shape of the glazing.
• Remove the masks while the finish is fresh, so that they do not pull off the surrounding layer.
• Use the circular masks on the wheel hubs.

Who the masks are for

For modelers in 1:72 scale who want clean framing of the canopy on a French fighter without cutting tape by hand.

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