Painting masks for the Fouga CM-170 Magister — Peewit, 1:72 scale

A set of precisely pre-cut self-adhesive painting masks from the manufacturer Peewit in 1:72 scale for the French Fouga CM-170 Magister jet trainer. This is not a model or a kit — these are masks that make it easier to spray the frames of the glazed canopy, and usually the wheel rims as well, cleanly. The mask is stuck onto the clear part, the surroundings are sprayed and, once it is peeled off, the frames stay sharply bounded, without laborious painting in by hand. On the Magister, with its long two-seat canopy and its many frames, that saves a great deal of work and time.

Use

• Lift the masks carefully off the sheet and stick them precisely onto the canopy frames; tweezers or a wooden stick will help.
• Press the edges down so that the paint does not run under the mask, and spray the area with an airbrush or from a spray can.
• Peel the mask off shortly after the paint has dried, while the film still holds its shape well.
• The inner surfaces of the glazing can be covered with masking fluid.

Who the masks are for

For modelers who are building the Fouga CM-170 Magister in 1:72 scale and want clean, sharp canopy frames without painting by hand. They suit less experienced modelers too, because they simplify masking considerably.

This is a masking aid, not a kit. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
