1:72 Spitfire Mk.IX

Eduard Masking Set Spitfire Mk.IX 1:72

This item is not an aircraft model, but a masking set from Eduard for building a plastic model of the fighter Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX in 1:72 scale. The set contains pre-cut self-adhesive masks (kabuki tape) for precisely covering the canopy glazing and the wheel hubs during painting. The masks follow the shape of the frames and outlines, so laboriously cutting masking tape by hand is unnecessary.

Use

• Carefully peel the masks off the sheet and apply them to the canopy glass and the wheel hubs.
• Press the edges down with a stick or a toothpick so they follow the frames precisely and paint does not seep underneath.
• Spray the canopy frame and the tires; once dry, remove the masks — the glass and hubs stay clean.
• The set is an accessory for the Spitfire Mk.IX model in 1:72 scale; the model itself, paints and glue are not included.

Who it is for

For modelers building the Spitfire Mk.IX in 1:72 scale who want clean, sharp paint transitions on the cockpit glazing and neatly painted wheels without lengthy masking.

Pre-cut self-adhesive masks. This is not a model — a separate plastic model, paints and glue are needed for assembly. Apply the masks to a clean, degreased surface.
