1:72 Defiant Mk.I

Eduard Defiant Mk.I 1:72 mask set

This item is not an aircraft model but a mask set from Eduard intended for building the plastic model of the British fighter Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I in 1:72 scale. The set contains pre-cut self-adhesive masks (kabuki tape) for covering the canopy glazing and other areas accurately while painting. The masks follow the shape of the frames precisely, so there is no need to cut masking tape laboriously by hand.

The real subject

The Boulton Paul Defiant was a British fighter of the Second World War. Its peculiarity was a powered gun turret with four machine guns behind the pilot — the Defiant had no conventional fixed forward-firing armament. It did well above all as a night fighter.

Use

• Lift the masks carefully off the sheet and stick them onto the canopy glazing and the other intended areas of the model.
• Press the edges down with a stick or a toothpick so they follow the frames perfectly and paint cannot creep under them.
• Spray the canopy framing and peel the masks off once dry — the glazing stays clean.
• The set serves as an accessory for a Defiant model in 1:72 scale; the model itself, paints and glue are not included.

Who it is for

For modelers building the Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I in 1:72 scale who want clean, sharp paint edges on the glazing without lengthy masking.

Pre-cut self-adhesive masks. This is not a model — a separate plastic model, paints and glue are needed for the build. Apply the masks to a clean, degreased surface.
