1:32 Lockheed P-38 Lightning

Lockheed P-38 Lightning masking masks 1:32 (1 Man Army)

A set of precisely shaped self-adhesive masks for masking while spraying. The masks follow the frames of the cockpit glazing, so the frames come out crisp and even. In the large 1:32 scale the set markedly speeds masking up and makes it more precise. The set is prepared for P-38 Lightning models.

The real subject

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was an American fighter of the Second World War with its characteristic twin-boom layout and a central nacelle for the pilot. It excelled in range, speed and heavy concentrated armament in the nose. It was used on all the main fronts, especially in the Pacific.

Use and tips

• Stick the masks onto degreased glazing and press the edges down with a toothpick.
• Apply the paint with an airbrush in thin layers.
• Peel the mask off before the finish has cured completely.
• The cockpit interior can be sprayed separately beforehand.

Who the set is for

• Modelers of the large 1:32 scale who want crisp cockpit frames.
• Builders who are after a clean result without patching by hand.

This is a masking aid, not a paint or a kit. The paints and the model are not included in the package.
