1:72 Caudron CR.714

Masks for the Caudron CR.714 in 1:72 scale from Peewit

A set of precisely cut adhesive masks that cover the individual panes of the cockpit canopy and make it possible to spray the frames of the glazing with sharp, clean edges. This is not a model of the aircraft but an accessory that makes the build markedly easier: outlining the frames by hand with a brush belongs among the most dreaded steps of a build, and masks do away with it completely.

Use

• Lift the mask off the backing sheet with tweezers and lay it on the matching pane of the canopy
• Press the edges down carefully, for instance with a toothpick, so that the paint cannot creep under them
• Spray the frames first with the interior shade and then with the camouflage shade
• Once the paint has dried, lift the masks off carefully with tweezers

The real subject

The Caudron CR.714 was a light French fighter of wooden construction, developed from racing machines built for speed. It took part in the fighting of 1940 above all in the hands of Polish pilots in France and today it belongs among the favorite subjects of collectors of French aviation.

Who the accessory is for

For all modelers who are building the Caudron CR.714 in 1:72 scale and want to achieve clean glazing without the lengthy work with a brush, from beginners up to experienced builders.

This is a modeling accessory: the kit of the aircraft itself is not included in the package.
