1:72 Bombay Mk.I - pro modely Valom

Peewit Bombay Mk.I 1:72 painting masks

A set of precisely cut self-adhesive masks made of fine washi (kabuki) tape from Peewit. They allow quick, clean masking of the canopy glazing, the fuselage windows, and the wheels and other small areas, when spraying paint with an airbrush or a brush. The material follows the shape of the frames well, holds along the edge of the engraved lines and leaves no adhesive residue once peeled off. The masks are cut for a specific 1:72 kit of the aircraft.

The real subject

The Bristol Bombay Mk.I was a British twin-engine high-wing monoplane that combined the roles of bomber and transport aircraft. It appeared in the second half of the 1930s and during the Second World War served mainly in the Mediterranean and North African theaters on transport, airborne drops and occasional bombing.

Use

• Clean and degrease the glazing, transfer the mask with tweezers and press it down along the engraved edges.
• Spray in thin coats so the paint does not creep under the edge of the mask.
• Peel the mask off shortly after the paint has dried, while the coat is still flexible.
• Suitable for sharp color edges on the canopy frames and on the fuselage windows.

Who the set is for

For modelers who want sharp color edges without the slow cutting of tape, and for builders who appreciate quick masking of extensive glazing.

These are painting masks, not a model. The paints, the glue and the kit are not included in the package.
