Messerschmitt Bf 108B/D Taifun - masking set 1:72 (Peewit)

This set contains self-adhesive masking templates in 1:72 scale for the model of the Messerschmitt Bf 108B/D Taifun. The masks are cut from thin film, follow the framing of the glazed canopy exactly, and the modeler transfers them onto the model before spraying. It is neither a kit nor a set of model parts. Take the exact range of masks from the illustration on the packaging.

The real subject

The Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun was a single-engined all-metal low-wing aircraft with retractable landing gear, designed in the 1930s as a fast four-seat touring and liaison machine. It stood out for a structure that was modern for its day and for good flying qualities, and it served in civil hands as well as in the liaison and courier role. Its design solutions foreshadowed the later Messerschmitt fighters.

Use and tips

• Stick the masks onto clean, degreased glazing and press the edges down carefully.
• Press the transitions between the frame and the glass down with a toothpick to stop the paint seeping under.
• Spray in thin coats so that the paint cannot run under the mask.
• Remove the masks shortly after the paint has dried, while the finish is still flexible.

Who the set is for

For modelers who want sharp framing on the canopy without the lengthy job of masking with tape by hand; designed for the usual plastic Bf 108 kits in 1:72 scale.

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