1:72 F-4 B/C/D/E/EJ/G/J Phantom II BASIC kabuki masks

Basic masking set for the F-4 Phantom II 1:72

A set of accurately pre-cut masks in Japanese kabuki paper from the Czech maker New Ware. The Basic version covers the basic masking of an F-4 Phantom II model in 1:72 scale and is intended for the B, C, D, E, EJ, G and J versions. It is not a model - it is an accessory that saves the most demanding part of preparing for painting: trimming the canopy frames by hand.

Use

• Lift the masks off the backing with tweezers and apply them to a clean, degreased surface.
• Press the edges down with a toothpick or a soft spatula so that paint cannot creep under them.
• Kabuki tape has low tack - it holds reliably and does not lift the surface.
• Remove the masks with a slow, angled pull once the paint has dried.

Who it is for

For anyone building a Phantom in 1:72 who wants clean canopy frames with no slow masking by hand. The basic version is the simplest way into the world of pre-cut masks; for more demanding masking the maker also offers a more extensive set designated Expert.

The set contains masking tape only; the model and the paints are not included in the package. We recommend checking compatibility with a particular kit beforehand.
