1:72 Ju 88G

Ju 88G masking set 1:72 (Eduard)

A pre-cut self-adhesive masking set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for a model of the German Junkers Ju 88G night fighter in 1:72 scale. It is not a model, but a set of pre-cut masks that make it easier to paint the extensively glazed cockpit and other glazed areas.

The real subject

The Junkers Ju 88 was a German twin-engine aircraft of the Second World War and one of the most versatile machines of its day. The Ju 88G version was a specialized night fighter with a powerful radar and heavy gun armament, sent up against Allied night raids.

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 stick or a toothpick, so that paint cannot bleed underneath.
• Spray the areas with an airbrush or paint them with a brush, and take the masks off carefully once they are dry.
• 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 German night fighters and twin-engine aircraft in 1:72 scale and want sharp, cleanly separated glazing frames without lengthy masking by hand with tape. It suits beginners and experienced builders of display models alike.

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