1:72 Whitley Mk.VII

Eduard 1:72 Whitley Mk.VII masking set

A set of pre-cut (die-cut) self-adhesive masks made of masking tape for models of the twin-engine aircraft Armstrong Whitworth Whitley in the Mk.VII version, in 1:72 scale. The masks follow the framing of the cockpit and nose glazing exactly, so you get sharp frames without the long job of cutting. Circular masks for the wheel hubs are usually enclosed as well.

The real subject

The Armstrong Whitworth Whitley was a British twin-engine bomber that flew with a markedly nose-down attitude. The Mk.VII version served with Coastal Command as a long-range patrol and anti-submarine machine; it carried radar and an enlarged fuel load for long flights over the sea. It was one of the key types in the fight against submarines in the early part of the war.

Use

• Stick the masks onto clean, degreased glazing on the model.
• Press the edges down firmly to keep the paint from creeping underneath.
• Spray the cockpit frames and take the masks off once the paint has dried.
• Use the circular masks when painting the tires and the wheels.

Who the set is for

• Builders of British bombers and patrol aircraft in 1:72.
• Modelers who want sharp cockpit frames without cutting by hand.

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