The 1:72 masking set for the Gloster E28/39 Pioneer is a sheet of pre-cut self-adhesive masks from yellow kabuki paper, cut for the kit of the same manufacturer. It is not a model but an accessory for clean spraying of the color transitions.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a set of pre-cut self-adhesive masks in 1:72 scale, not a kit. According to the name, the masks are cut from yellow kabuki paper and they are cut for the kit of the same manufacturer, so that the outlines fit the parts without additional shortening and trimming. The point of the set is to get sharp edges of paint by spraying, not by drawing around the frame of the glazing by hand with a brush.
The Gloster E.28/39, nicknamed Pioneer, was the first British aircraft with jet propulsion. It first flew in May 1941 and served solely to prove the engine designed by Frank Whittle; it never entered service armament. It was a small single-seat all-metal low-wing monoplane with retractable nose gear and with an intake opening in the nose, from where the air continued through ducts around the cockpit to the engine at the rear.
First degrease the glazing and let it dry perfectly. Lift the mask off the sheet with tweezers or the tip of a scalpel, lay it on dry and only then press down the center first and the edges last. The most common cause of paint running under is exactly an edge that was not pressed down, not the wrong paint. Spray in several very thin coats, and preferably at a right angle to the edge of the mask, so that the paint is not pushed under it. Peel the mask off while the paint has set and not yet cured completely, otherwise there is a risk that the film of paint will tear away with the tape. Store the unused part of the sheet flat, in the dark and dry.
The package holds only the masks. The kit, paints and glue are not included.
