1:72 Yakovlev Yak-1b

Painting masks Yak-1b (1:72, Eduard)

A set of precisely shaped self-adhesive masks in 1:72 scale from the Czech maker Eduard. The masks are cut from a yellow masking material (kabuki paper) and serve for quick and clean spraying of the canopy frames and other clear parts, and of the wheels, on a model of the Soviet Yak-1b fighter.

What the masks are for

Laying tape onto the canopy frames by hand is slow and inaccurate. Pre-cut masks follow the shape of the glazing exactly and give crisp edges between the frame and the clear area. The result is faithful, clean glazing with no paint creeping underneath.

Use

• Peel the mask off and place it on the relevant glazing part
• Press the edges down with a wooden stick so that they seal well
• Spray the frame color over it, or first the interior color
• Once dry, remove the masks carefully

Who the masks are for

• Modelers who want clean glazing with no laborious taping
• Builders of Soviet fighters of the Second World War
• Beginners and advanced modelers alike, as a saving of time

This is a stand-alone set of masks. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
