1:72 Canopy mask S-51, HO3S-1, H-5F/G, WS-51 (LF)

1:72 masking set for the canopy of the Sikorsky S-51 (S-51, HO3S-1, H-5F/G, WS-51) (Peewit)

A set of precisely cut self-adhesive masks for models of the early Sikorsky S-51 helicopter and its variants (HO3S-1, H-5F/G and the British license-built WS-51 Dragonfly) in 1:72 scale. The masks follow the broken framing of the extensive canopy glazing, so you can paint the frames sharply and without lengthy hand masking.

The real subject

The Sikorsky S-51 was one of the first helicopters put to practical use. It served on liaison, rescue and observation duties with military and civil operators alike; in Great Britain it was built under license as the Westland Dragonfly (WS-51). The glazed nose of the cockpit is characteristic.

Use

• Stick the masks onto clean glazing and press the edges down carefully.
• Paint the extensive glazing over in the shade of the frame and the interior.
• Suitable for an airbrush and for a brush; lay the paint on in thin coats.
• Peel the masks off carefully once the paint has dried.

Who the set is for

For modelers who want clean and precise framing on an early helicopter with broken glazing.

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