1:72 P-51C Mustang/Mustang Mk.III -

Peewit P-51C Mustang / Mustang Mk.III 1:72 painting masks

A set of precisely cut self-adhesive masks made of fine washi (kabuki) tape from Peewit. They allow quick, clean masking of the canopy glazing, and of the wheels and other small areas, when spraying paint with an airbrush or a brush. The material follows the shape of the frames well, holds along the edge of the engraved lines and leaves no adhesive residue once peeled off. The masks are cut for a specific kit in 1:72 scale.

The real subject

The North American P-51C Mustang was an American single-seat fighter powered by the license-built Packard Merlin engine. The P-51C corresponded to the B variant built in a different plant and had a framed canopy; in British service it carried the designation Mustang Mk.III. The Mustang was among the most successful long-range fighters of the Second World War, above all as a bomber escort.

Use

• Clean and degrease the glazing, transfer the mask with tweezers and press it down along the engraved edges.
• Spray in thin coats so the paint does not creep under the edge of the mask.
• Peel the mask off shortly after the paint has dried, while the coat is still flexible.
• Suitable for sharp color edges on the canopy frames and on small clear parts.

Who the set is for

For modelers who want sharp color edges without the slow cutting of tape, and for builders who appreciate quick and reliable masking of glazing.

These are painting masks, not a model. The paints, the glue and the kit are not included in the package.
