1:72 Mask Douglas A-4B/4P Skyhawk EXPERT (AIRF)

New Ware mask set - A-4B/A-4P Skyhawk, 1:72 (EXPERT level)

The most complete variant of precisely cut self-adhesive masks made of fine kabuki (washi) tape from the Czech manufacturer New Ware, intended for plastic models of the American Douglas A-4 Skyhawk carrier-borne attack aircraft in the A-4B and A-4P versions in 1:72 scale. The set allows the glazing and the small details to be painted faithfully in several colors.

What the EXPERT level covers

The EXPERT level is the most comprehensive one. Besides the outer surfaces of the glazing it also includes masks for the inner sides of the canopy, the frame seals, the landing gear wheels and further small details for maximum accuracy.

The real subject

The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk was a light single-seat carrier-borne attack aircraft with a delta wing, operated for an exceptionally long time by a number of air forces. The A-4P version was the Argentine designation of upgraded machines that saw combat in the South Atlantic in 1982.

Use and tips

• Apply the masks for the inner sides before you close the glazing up.
• Kabuki tape conforms to the rounded surfaces of the canopy.
• Once the paint is on, take the masks off carefully and in good time.

Who the set is for

• Advanced modelers who are demanding about fidelity of detail.
• Builders of carrier-borne attack aircraft in 1:72 scale.
• Modelers who require sharp color transitions.

This is a masking accessory, not a model. The kit itself, the glue and the paints are not included in the package.
