1:72 Bristol Beaufort Mk.I

Bristol Beaufort Mk.I Masking Set, 1:72 (Eduard)

This is a masking set (masks) from manufacturer Eduard, not an aircraft model. The set includes precisely shaped self-adhesive masks for spraying the glazing frames (cockpit and canopy) and wheel hubs/tires of the Bristol Beaufort Mk.I model in 1:72 scale. It serves as a building accessory — using it requires the corresponding base Bristol Beaufort Mk.I kit in this scale (not included in the package).

The Real Subject

The Bristol Beaufort was a British twin-engine torpedo bomber and patrol aircraft from the Second World War. The Mk.I version was powered by Bristol Taurus radial engines and was used mainly for attacking enemy ships with torpedoes and bombs. It served with Coastal Command and became the basis for the later fighter variant, the Beaufighter.

How to Use the Masks

Apply the masks to a clean, degreased glazing and wheel surface. Then spray the frames and wheels with an airbrush in thin coats; remove the mask as soon as the paint is touch-dry, to get sharp, clean edges without seepage. The masks significantly speed up and refine the work compared with hand-cutting edges from tape.

Who the Set Is For

• Modelers building the Bristol Beaufort Mk.I in 1:72 scale
• Anyone who wants clean, sharp cockpit frames without laborious tape masking
• Builders who will appreciate the time saved spraying the glazing and wheels

This is an accessory (masking set) that requires a separate base kit. Glue, paints, and the model are not included in the package.
