1:72 He 115

Eduard He 115 1:72 — painting mask

A self-adhesive painting mask from Eduard in 1:72 scale. This is not a kit but a modeling accessory cut from thin yellow masking (kabuki) tape. The mask follows the shape of the cockpit glazing frames and the other areas exactly, so you only have to stick it onto the model, spray the paint and take it off once it has dried. The result is sharp, clean paint edges without laboriously painting the frames by hand. The subject is the German twin-engine floatplane Heinkel He 115. The model itself is bought separately and is not included in the package.

The real subject

The Heinkel He 115 is a German twin-engine floatplane of the Second World War. It was used for dropping torpedoes, for minelaying and for reconnaissance over the sea. It stood out for its good range and it carried a crew of several men.

Use

• Lift the individual parts of the mask off the backing and stick them onto the glazing and the other areas of the model that are to be masked.
• Spray the color of the frames over the mask, let it dry and peel the mask off carefully.
• Masking is done on a surface of the model that has already been primed and left to dry.
• The open areas of glazing between the masks can be filled in with liquid mask.

Who it is for

• For modelers building the German twin-engine floatplane Heinkel He 115 in 1:72 scale.
• For anyone after clean cockpit frames without painting them by hand.
• For more advanced builders who want to make masking quicker and more precise.

An accessory for modelers. The model, paints and glue are not included unless stated otherwise.
