1:72 Fw 190A-5

Eduard 1:72 Fw 190A-5 masking set

This is a set of pre-cut (die-cut) self-adhesive masks made of masking tape, meant for models of the Fw 190A-5 fighter in 1:72 scale. The masks follow the shape of the canopy framing and the other glazing exactly, so there is no need to cut tape laboriously with a knife. Circular masks for the wheel hubs are usually included as well.

The real subject

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190A was a single-seat all-metal fighter aircraft with a BMW 801 radial engine. The A-5 version was among the widely used mid-war variants and it was marked by a lengthened engine mounting. The Würger was valued for its sturdiness, heavy armament and good flying qualities at low and medium altitudes.

Use

• Stick the masks onto clean, degreased glazing on the model.
• Press the edges down carefully so that no paint creeps under the tape.
• Spray the cockpit frames in the color of the airframe and carefully take the masks off once it has dried.
• The circular masks come in handy when spraying the tires and the wheel hubs.

Who the set is for

• Modelers who want sharp, clean cockpit frames without cutting by hand.
• Builders of Fw 190 fighters in 1:72 scale.

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