About product

Masking set 1:72 Curtiss P-40N and Kittyhawk Mk.IV

Self-adhesive masks in 1:72 scale by Special Mask, cut for the glazing of the late version of the Curtiss P-40. They cover the cockpit glass so that the frames are created by spraying paint and the transition at the edge is crisp along its whole length.

The late version has a different canopy

The P-40N is among the last production versions and differs from the early machines in, among other things, its lightened structure and revised rearward view. That is exactly why the masking set for the late version does not overlap with the set for the early one. If you own both models, take care not to mix up the mask sheets, or the frame will not sit on the engraved line and the spray will look inaccurate. The version designation on the packaging is therefore essential information in this case, not a detail.

Usage tips

  • Check against the designation that you have the set for the late version. The sets for the early P-40 versions have different shapes.
  • Before spraying, go over the edge of the applied mask with a thin coat of gloss varnish, which practically rules out paint creeping under.
  • Spray the inner canopy frame in the interior shade before you glue the part into the fuselage.
  • After removing the mask, take off any fingerprints with a cotton swab moistened in water, not in solvent.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of late P-40 versions in a small scale.
  • Modelers who want clean glazing with no smears or overspray.
  • Those who build several machines of this family and need the set matching this particular version.

This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

Do not count on it. There are separate sets for the early versions, because the shape of the glazing differs. Go by the version designation on the particular item.

Expect masks for the glazing above all. The illustration on the packaging states the scope of the set.

Tape can be used, but in 1:72 scale cutting a straight edge by hand is slow and the width of the frame easily varies. A die-cut mask holds the shape exactly.
