About product

Masking set Vickers Valetta C.1 in 1:72 scale

A set of Montex masks for painting a model of the British twin-engine Valetta C.1 transport. It is not a kit of the aircraft but an accessory whose turn comes once you have the model glued and are about to spray the camouflage. The masks separate the clear areas from the frames so that the transition comes out straight and without creep.

The real subject

The Valetta came about after the Second World War by adapting the Viking airliner for military use. A strengthened floor, wide cargo doors and Bristol Hercules radial engines turned it into a universal carrier of troops and materiel. The C.1 version was the most numerous transport variant of the Royal Air Force and served among other places over the Malay Peninsula and the Middle East. For its noise and its rugged nature the crews took it as a reliable workhorse of overseas bases.

Painting tips

First wash the glazing in lukewarm water with a drop of dish soap and let it dry completely. Seat the template exactly into the shape of the frame and press the edges down with a blunt toothpick so that nothing creeps under the edge. Apply the paint in several thin coats, and the first of them can be the shade of the cockpit interior so that the frames look right when seen from inside too. Remove the masks while the paint has only just dried.

Who the set is for

  • For builders of British postwar transport aircraft in small scale
  • For modelers who prefer an airbrush to a brush
  • For anyone for whom cutting strips of tape by hand takes a whole evening

The package does not contain the aircraft model, the paints or thinner.

FAQ

It is not. It is a standalone accessory for painting; the kit of the twin-engine transport has to be obtained separately.

The cockpit frames come out straight and of the same width along their whole length, which with a large glazed flight deck is hard to achieve by hand.

Yes, it is more a matter of patience than of skill. What is essential is degreased glazing and paint applied in thin coats.
