Messerschmitt Bf-109F 1:72 (Peewit)

A set of die-cut self-adhesive masks from the Peewit brand for a model of the German Messerschmitt Bf-109F fighter in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit but an accessory for spraying the frames of the cockpit canopy and other glazed areas cleanly. The pieces copy the shape of the frames of a particular kit exactly.

The real subject

The Messerschmitt Bf-109F, nicknamed the Friedrich, was the aerodynamically refined version of the famous German fighter from the middle part of the Second World War. Against the earlier variants it received rounded wingtips and cleaner airframe lines, and many pilots considered it the best handling of the whole Bf-109 family.

Usage and painting tips

Stick the masks onto a clean, degreased and dry surface and press their edges down well so that paint does not run under them. Apply the paint in thin coats, ideally with an airbrush at lower pressure. Do the individual frames of the canopy one after another and press the edges down. Take the masks off while the paint is still fresh, so that they do not pull a dried coat away.

Who the masks are for

• For builders of German fighters of the Second World War in 1:72 scale
• For lovers of the Bf-109 in all its variants
• For those who want clean canopy frames without a hand brush
• For beginners and advanced modelers alike who want to save time when painting

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