Peewit 1:72 Messerschmitt Me-262A masking set

Precisely die-cut self-adhesive masks for models of the German Messerschmitt Me 262A jet aircraft in 1:72 scale. The masks are die-cut from masking film and follow the frames of the cockpit glazing. It is not a paint or a kit but an accessory for clean spraying.

The real subject

The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the first series-built jet fighter in the world, deployed at the end of the Second World War. The Me 262A version covered the fighter as well as the fighter-bomber forms and was distinguished by a pair of jet engines under the wings and excellent speed. The intricate cockpit glazing with its many frames makes masking by hand a lengthy job.

Use and tips

• Lift the mask with tweezers and seat it precisely on the frame of the glazing.
• Press the edges down, so that the paint does not run underneath.
• The sequence: first the interior color, then the upper camouflage shade.
• Remove the masks soon after the paint has dried.

Who the set is for

• Builders of German jet aircraft of the end of the war.
• Modelers who want crisp glazing frames without tape by hand.
• Those who value a quick and clean spray finish.

The set holds masking film only, not paint, glue or the model itself.
