1:48 Mitsubishi F-2B mask (for Hasegawa)

Omask 1:48 Mitsubishi F-2B - canopy masks

A set of precisely shaped self-adhesive masks from the Polish maker Omask, intended for the matching Mitsubishi F-2B kit in 1:48 scale. It is not a model but a painting accessory that makes it easier to paint the frames of the longer two-seat canopy cleanly. The set is cut for the parts of the Hasegawa kit; with a model from another maker the shapes need not match.

Use

• The masks are stuck onto the glazing of the canopy and the frames are then sprayed in the airframe color - the edges come out crisp.
• The shapes match the parts of the particular kit, so cutting from masking tape falls away.
• With a two-seat canopy there are more masks - and the saving of time compared with masking by hand is all the greater.

The real subject

The Mitsubishi F-2B is the two-seat combat trainer version of the Japanese F-2 multirole fighter, derived from the F-16 design. It serves with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force above all for training crews and for combat tasks.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the given F-2B kit in 1:48.
• Those who want crisp frames on the longer canopy without laborious masking.
• Beginners as well as advanced modelers using an airbrush.

This is a painting accessory. The kit itself, paints and glue are not included in the package.
