1:72 Yak-1B (Arma Hobby kits)

Spray masks Yak-1B (1:72, Peewit)

This is a set of self-adhesive spray masks for painting a model of the Soviet Yak-1B fighter. It is not a kit or a model but an accessory meant for Yak-1B models in 1:72 scale. The masks follow the frames of the glazing and any further areas exactly, so laborious taping falls away and the transitions of the paint are sharp and clean.

The real subject

The Yak-1 was a Soviet single-engined fighter of the Second World War. The Yak-1B version brought an altered canopy with a cut-down fuselage spine for a better view to the rear, and further operational improvements.

Use

• The masks are peeled off the sheet and applied to the glazing and the designated areas.
• Press the edges down carefully, so that paint does not creep under them.
• Spray in thin coats and take the masks off once it has dried.
• Cover the rest of the area with tape or with liquid mask.

Who it is for

• Modelers who want sharp transitions of paint without taping by hand.
• Collectors of Soviet Second World War fighters in 1:72.

This is an accessory for a model, not a kit on its own. The model and the paints are not included in the package.
