About product

1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia — a Peewit masking set

A masking set from the Czech brand Peewit for a plastic model of the Supermarine Spitfire fighter in the Mk.Ia version in 1:72 scale. This is not a kit but die-cut self-adhesive stencils, with which you cover the areas that are to stay free of paint while spraying — above all the glazing and the framing of the canopy. The exact make-up of the sheet is not stated here, so before you buy compare the version of the aircraft and the shape of the canopy with the kit you are building.

The real subject

The Spitfire Mk.I was the first production version of the legendary British fighter, with a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and an elliptical wing. The Mk.Ia designation is used for machines with machine gun armament in the wing, as against the later version with cannons. Together with the Hurricanes it was precisely these aircraft that formed the backbone of the British fighter defense in 1940. In 1:72 scale it is one of the most frequently built types of all, so the set will find a use with a number of kits from different manufacturers.

Masking and painting tips

Degrease the surface before applying the mask and let it dry. Press the mask down around its edge with soft tweezers or a toothpick, so that paint cannot run under the edge. On a Spitfire it pays to spray the interior shade of the framing first and only then the external camouflage. Apply the paint in thin coats; a heavy deposit forms a ridge at the edge of the mask that stays visible after it is removed. Take the mask off shortly after the paint has dried, not after several days.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of Spitfires in 1:72 scale who want clean canopy framing
  • Modelers working with an airbrush who do not want to cut tape
  • Beginners for whom masking small framing by hand is the hardest part of a build
  • Collectors of British fighters of the Second World War

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

FAQ

No. This is a stand-alone masking set for a model that you obtain separately.

Not necessarily. Masks follow the shape of the parts of a particular kit, and even on one type the shape of the canopy differs between manufacturers. The target kit is not stated here, so check the match yourself.

Count on a single use. Both the tack and the dimensional accuracy fall off after removal, and with the small framing of 1:72 a second application is unreliable.
