1:72 Fw 189A-1

Eduard 1:72 masking set for the Fw 189A-1

A set of die-cut self-adhesive masks in masking tape for models of the twin-boom reconnaissance aircraft Focke-Wulf Fw 189A-1 Uhu in 1:72 scale. The masks follow the intricate framing of the extensive glazed crew nacelle exactly, which on this type saves a great deal of work and gives sharp frames. Circular masks for the wheel hubs are usually included as well.

The real subject

The Focke-Wulf Fw 189 was a German twin-engine aircraft for tactical reconnaissance and artillery observation with an unusual twin-boom structure and a glazed crew nacelle. The A-1 version was the basic production variant. Thanks to its excellent maneuverability and toughness it earned a very good reputation on the Eastern Front.

Use

• Stick the masks onto degreased glazing, working from the larger parts.
• Press the edges down carefully so that the paint does not run under the tape.
• Spray the frames in the color of the airframe and, once dry, take the masks off carefully.
• The circular masks come in useful when spraying the wheels.

Who the set is for

• Builders of Fw 189 models in 1:72.
• Modelers who want to avoid hand-cutting the extensive glazed nacelle.

This is an accessory for a plastic kit, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
