About product

Masking set for the WH-3 bomber in 1:72 scale

The set contains pre-cut self-adhesive masks for the glazing of a model of the twin-engine bomber listed under the designation WH-3, or model 166. It is not a kit and not model parts but an aid that markedly simplifies painting the glazed areas in a small scale.

Why masks pay off on this type

Twin-engine bombers tend to have glazing in several places on the airframe, from the pilot's station through a glazed nose to the gunners' positions. In 1:72 scale the frames are very thin and cutting tape by hand for every pane is a slow job. A pre-cut mask fits the shape of the particular part, holds a straight edge and shortens the preparation from tens of minutes to a few.

How to use the masks

  • Degrease the glazing and let it dry thoroughly
  • Lift the masks with tweezers and lay them on without stretching them and without bending the edges
  • Press the edges down carefully, and work in small sections on curved surfaces
  • Apply the paint in thin coats
  • Take the masks off shortly after the paint has dried, not after several days

Who the set is for

The set is intended for modelers who build this type in 1:72 scale and want the glazing masked quickly and accurately. Because the designation of the subject is fairly specific, it is advisable to compare the shape of the masks with the clear parts of the kit you plan to build before you buy. Keep the rest of the sheet in its packaging away from light.

This is an accessory to a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

It is not. The package holds only the set of masking templates. The bomber kit has to be bought separately.

The designation WH-3, or model 166, is unusual and does not by itself identify the aircraft manufacturer. Before buying, therefore, compare the shape of the masks with the clear parts of the kit you are building.

Shortly after the last coat of paint has dried. After a longer time the adhesive bonds more firmly and removing a mask can pull the paint off or leave residue.

Work in small sections, do not stretch the mask and press the edge down gradually with a toothpick. On markedly curved surfaces a short breath of warm air helps, after which the tape follows the shape better.
