1:48 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I O-max set (for Airfix)

Omask 1:48 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I – O-max Set

The O-max set is a complete painting package from the Polish manufacturer Omask, intended for the Hawker Hurricane Mk.I kit from Airfix in 1:48 scale. It combines precisely shaped self-adhesive masks for the cockpit glazing with foam (EVA) fillers for the landing gear bays. This is not an aircraft model, but an accessory that greatly simplifies clean painting and masking.

Use

• The masks are applied to the individual canopy panes, and the frames are then sprayed in the airframe color — the edges come out sharp and without bleed.
• The foam fillers are inserted into the landing gear bays and protect them from paint overspray while spraying the lower surfaces.
• The masks follow the shape of the Airfix kit's parts, so there is no need for tedious cutting of masking tape.

The real subject

The Hawker Hurricane Mk.I was a British fighter aircraft that, together with the Spitfire, bore the main brunt of the Battle of Britain in 1940. Its rugged construction with mixed skinning made it a reliable weapons carrier and a stable gun platform.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building this Hurricane Mk.I kit in 1:48 scale.
• Anyone wanting sharp cockpit frames without laborious hand-masking.
• Beginners and advanced builders alike who appreciate bay protection when airbrushing.

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