1:72 Vickers Wellington Mk.II BASIC kabuki masks

Vickers Wellington Mk.II BASIC kabuki masks 1:72 (New Ware)

This is a basic set of pre-cut masking films made of kabuki paper, not a kit. The BASIC variant covers the key areas for spraying a model of the British Vickers Wellington Mk.II bomber in 1:72 scale, above all the extensive glazing and the landing gear wheels.

The real subject

The Vickers Wellington was a British twin-engine bomber of the Second World War, recognizable by the geodetic structure of its fuselage, which withstood heavy combat damage. The Mk.II version was powered by Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engines and served with the bomber force in the early part of the war.

How to use the set

Lift the masks off the backing sheet, seat them precisely on the glazing and press them down; fill in the larger areas inside the frames with your own tape or liquid mask. Kabuki paper holds well, peels off cleanly and leaves no adhesive behind. Suitable for brush and airbrush alike; once the paint has dried, remove the masks carefully.

Who the set is for

• builders of the Wellington Mk.II who want crisp frames on the complex glazing
• modelers who prefer pre-cut masks to taping by hand
• those for whom coverage of the basic areas is enough (glazing, wheels)

The accessory contains neither the model nor paints; it is used to mask a separately purchased kit.
