1:72 Convair B-58 Hustler

Masking set 1:72 – Convair B-58 Hustler (Eduard)

This is not a kit but a set of self-adhesive painting masks in 1:72 scale intended for a plastic model of the B-58 Hustler supersonic bomber. The masks are precisely cut from fine yellow Japanese masking tape (kabuki), which follows the shape of the glazing well and leaves no adhesive residue when peeled off.

What the set is for

It saves the laborious cutting of masks from tape and gives sharp, clean edges to the cockpit frames. With aircraft sets of this kind, circular masks for the wheel disks are usually included alongside the glazing. Using it speeds up and sharpens the painting of the clear parts markedly.

Use

• Clean and degrease the glazing and move the mask with tweezers.
• Press the edges down carefully so that paint cannot creep under them.
• Spray with an airbrush in thin coats and lift the mask off while the varnish is still fresh.

Who the set is for

• Modelers who want perfectly painted cockpit frames.
• Builders of Cold War aircraft in 1:72.

A stand-alone masking set. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
