1:72 Fw 200C Condor

Fw 200C Condor masking set 1:72 (Eduard)

A die-cut self-adhesive masking set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for a model of the German four-engine Focke-Wulf Fw 200C Condor in 1:72 scale. It is not a model but a set of pre-cut masks that make it easier to paint the extensive cockpit glazing and the other glazed areas of this large machine.

The real subject

The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor was originally created as a long-range airliner, and during the Second World War it served the Luftwaffe above all for long-range maritime reconnaissance and attacks on Allied convoys in the Atlantic. Thanks to its great range it was a feared opponent of merchant shipping.

Use

• Separate the individual masks from the sheet and stick them precisely onto the glazing frames.
• Press the edges of the masks down thoroughly with a wooden stick so that paint cannot creep under them.
• Spray the areas with an airbrush or paint them with a brush, and once dry take the masks off carefully.
• Make use of the masks for the wheel rims and other small curved areas as well, where straight tape is hard to shape.

Who it is for

The set will be appreciated by modelers who build large multi-engine aircraft of the Second World War in 1:72 scale and want crisp, cleanly separated glazing frames without the slow business of masking by hand with tape. It suits beginners and experienced builders of display models alike.

This is a die-cut masking set, not a model. The kit, the paints and the glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
