About product

SX-Art 1:72 MiG-29 exhaust nozzles masking set

A self-adhesive masking set from SX-Art for the model of the twin-engine MiG-29 fighter in 1:72 scale. It does not concern the cockpit glazing but exclusively the engine exhaust nozzles. It is neither a kit nor replacement parts but a sheet of pre-cut masks that separate the metal and heat-discolored shades of the nozzles from the color of the airframe.

Why the nozzles are masked separately

The rear end of the MiG-29 is awkward to paint: the two nozzles sit fairly close together and only a narrow strip of airframe is left between them, so aiming an airbrush in there freehand is difficult. At the same time these are two different worlds of color. The airframe carries flat camouflage, the nozzles metal and heat-discolored shades that are sprayed separately and are very hard to overspray. A pre-cut mask holds the circular perimeter of the nozzle along its whole length, so no scattered edge of metal and no camouflage creeping in arises at the border. The exact extent of the sheet is not stated here.

How to use the set

First finish the nozzles including the metallic shades and let the varnish cure well, as metallics are delicate to the touch. Then fit the mask onto the finished nozzle and press the edge down all the way round; in the narrow gap between the nozzles a blunt toothpick or stick helps. Spray the airframe color in thin coats and at a right angle, not at an angle into the gap. Take the mask off carefully and rather sooner than later, so that the edge of the metallic varnish does not come away with it.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of models of jet fighters in 1:72 scale
  • Modelers who spray the nozzles with metallic paints
  • Anyone after a clean border between the metal of the nozzle and the camouflage of the airframe
  • Anyone bothered by poor airbrush access between two closely spaced nozzles

This is an accessory for painting, not a model and not a replacement part. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise. Check that it matches your kit before you buy.

FAQ

No. According to the name it is intended for the engine exhaust nozzles. Masks for the glazing are a separate product.

They are not. It is a self-adhesive masking sheet, not resin or metal parts.

The nozzle is circular and there is little room between the two of them. Straight tape cut by hand forms folds on a circle through which paint bleeds, whereas a pre-cut shape holds the edge all the way round.

Shortly after the airframe has been sprayed. Metallic varnishes under a mask come away from cured paint more readily than one would like.
