1:72 Heinkel He-162A Salamander

Painting Masks Heinkel He-162A Salamander, 1:72

A set of self-adhesive masks from the Eduard company intended for models of the German Heinkel He-162A Salamander jet fighter in 1:72 scale. The masks match the shape of the canopy frames exactly and usually include circular masks for the wheels as well. They make clean spraying of the frames and the tires easier without the lengthy cutting of adhesive tape.

The real subject

The Heinkel He-162 Salamander was a light single-engined jet fighter developed at the very end of the Second World War under the emergency fighter program. It is characterized by the jet engine mounted above the fuselage and by a pair of endplate vertical tails.

Use

• Place the masks on the canopy frames and press the edges down so that paint cannot run under them.
• Spray the interior shade of the frames first and then the exterior camouflage.
• Use the circular masks to separate the hub from the tire.
• Remove the masks carefully once the paint is dry.

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