Eduard 1:72 Fw 190F-8 - painting masks

A set of self-adhesive painting masks from the Czech manufacturer Eduard made of kabuki paper (washi). They serve to mask the frames of the cockpit glazing precisely while paint is sprayed on a plastic model of the Fw 190F-8 aircraft in 1:72 scale. It is an accessory that makes painting easier, not a model.

The real subject

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was a German single-engine fighter of the Second World War. The F-8 version was the ground-attack variant adapted to support ground forces, fitted with racks for bombs and other weapons. It was derived from the proven design with a radial engine.

Use and tips

• Apply the masks exactly to the shape of the canopy frames and of the gunsight if there is one.
• Press the edges down so that paint does not run under the mask.
• Spray the paint in thin coats with an airbrush.
• Remove the masks before the paint has fully cured.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the Fw 190F-8 in 1:72 scale.
• Anyone who wants sharp transitions of color on the glazing.
• Beginners and advanced builders who want to speed up masking.

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