About product

Paint masks for the Me 262A-1a in 1:72

This is a masking set, not a kit. It serves to cover the glazing and the areas that are not to receive paint while spraying. The cockpit of the Me 262 has a great many small frames and in a smaller scale tracing them by hand tends to be lengthy, so a ready-made cut considerably raises the chance of a nice result at the first attempt.

The real subject

The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the first jet fighter to reach production and combat service. Under its swept wings it carried a pair of jet engines in separate nacelles, and the A-1a rendition corresponded to the fighter role. It outpaced the propeller machines of the day, but it was plagued by the short life of its engines and by a shortage of fuel.

Painting recommendations

Degrease the glazed areas and lay the shapes with tweezers. The frames of the Me 262 are narrow, so work slowly and do not hurry when pressing the corners down. Choose thin paint and apply it from above, not at an angle. The mottled camouflage is best sprayed once the mask is off, so that the pattern runs across the whole fuselage without a visible break. The engine nacelles deserve masking of their own, as their shade often differs from the rest of the airframe.

Suitable for

  • modelers interested in early jet aircraft
  • builders who want sharp frames without retouching by hand
  • those who want to save cutting small shapes with a knife
  • owners of the matching model in 1:72 scale

FAQ

It was the very first jet fighter put into production and used in combat.

It is not; this is only a masking set. The model is ordered as a separate item.

It is the rendition in the fighter role, which was among the most widespread production versions of the type.

Cover the glazing first, apply the base shades and finish the broken-up pattern only once the mask is off.
