1:72 Curtiss SB2C-5 Helldiver canopy airbrush mask

Curtiss SB2C-5 Helldiver canopy masks 1:72 (MH models)

A set of painting airbrush masks from MH models for a model of the American carrier-based Curtiss SB2C-5 Helldiver dive bomber in 1:72 scale. This is not an airplane model but an accessory for masking the canopy glazing and its framing accurately while spraying. The masks are cut from a self-adhesive masking film and they follow the shape of the frames. The SB2C-5 version belongs to the late production batches of the Helldiver.

Use

• Stick the pre-cut pieces onto the glazing and the canopy framing
• Mask the other glazed areas to the extent the set covers
• Spray the paint with an airbrush, with nothing seeping under the edge of the mask
• Peel the masks off once the paint has dried to reveal cleanly outlined frames

Who the set is for

The accessory will appeal to builders of the Curtiss SB2C-5 Helldiver in 1:72 scale who want to save the time spent outlining the canopy frames by hand and to reach sharp transitions between the glazing and the frame.

This is a painting aid, not a model in its own right. Paints and glue are not included in the package.
