About product

Omask O-max set, Polikarpov I-16 type 5 1:48 (for the Zvezda model)

A masking package from the Czech maker Omask, prepared to fit the Polikarpov I-16 type 5 model in 1:48 scale from Zvezda. It is an accessory to a model, not a kit: you will find no plastic aircraft parts in the package. The masks are cut exactly to the shapes of the parts of that particular kit, so they fit without any further trimming.

Why an O-max and not just canopy masks

The designation O-max set means a more comprehensive package at Omask than an ordinary mask set. It combines self-adhesive masks for the clear parts with flexible foam landing gear bay plugs, which are simply pressed into the bays: they are not glued, they hold by their own springiness and they can be used again. Thanks to that, the details inside the bays are not clogged with paint during spraying and you do not have to stuff them laboriously with paper or putty.

Use

  • Stick the masks onto the clear parts and only then spray the primer and the top coat; the frames will come out with a sharp edge.
  • Before spraying the underside, press the foam plugs into the landing gear bays; once the paint has dried, take them out and keep them for the next model.
  • Remove the masks once the paint is touch-dry, not after it has fully cured; that reduces the risk of tearing the finish.
  • Any mask remnants at the edges can be tidied up with a pointed scalpel, working at right angles to the glass.
  • Let a light coat of varnish cover the color break so that paint does not get under the mask.

Who the set is for

For modelers building the I-16 type 5 in 1:48 from Zvezda who want to save time on the canopy and to have clean landing gear bays. It will also be appreciated by anyone who dislikes masking, as the ready-made cuts remove the most tiresome part of painting. It is not a model that can be built on its own; the set can only be used together with the corresponding kit.

An accessory to a model. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package. The exact contents of the package may differ between boxings.

FAQ

An ordinary set deals only with the glazing. The O-max set is a more comprehensive package: besides the masks it adds foam landing gear bay plugs, so it covers more painting steps at once.

No. This is a masking accessory meant for building the I-16 type 5 model in 1:48 from Zvezda. You have to obtain the model itself separately.

Yes. The plugs are simply pressed into the bays, they are not glued and after cleaning they can be used on further models.
