1:72 Harrier GR.1/GR.3/AV-8A BASIC masks is a set of self-adhesive masks from New Ware for a model of the British vertical takeoff aircraft in 1:72 scale. It serves for clean spraying of the glazing and is an accessory for a kit, not the model itself.
Responsibility details are not available.
Pre-cut masks for a model of the Harrier in its early GR.1, GR.3 and AV-8A versions in 1:72 scale. The masks are cut to the shape of the Airfix kit, so on the model they simply lie in place and hold; nothing has to be shortened or trimmed. The BASIC grade is the smallest version of the New Ware line and concentrates on the main glazing; the wider ADVANCED and EXPERT grades cover more of the airframe.
The Harrier was the first combat aircraft in production service with vertical and short takeoff. The key to that was a jet engine with vectored thrust, whose four rotating nozzles directed the gas flow downwards or backwards. The British GR.1 and later GR.3 versions served as ground-attack aircraft, while the American AV-8A matched the early British standard. The machines could operate from improvised strips and from the decks of smaller ships, which was an exceptional ability at the time they appeared.
The material of the masks is supple and will take a little stretching, so it follows even slightly convex areas of the canopy without creasing, which is exactly what helps on the Harrier's bubble canopy. Once the mask is in place, press it down all the way round so that the edge stands proud nowhere. Spray with an airbrush in thin coats and aim straight down, not from the side under the edge of the mask. On early Harriers it helps to spray the glazing with a dark interior shade first and only then with the outer camouflage. Lift the masks off shortly after the paint has dried, drawing them at an angle across the edge. Keep the cut sheet: the offcuts serve for masking wheels, areas under sprayed camouflage or small panels.
The package contains masks only. The kit, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
