1:48 Saab J-32 B/E Lansen BASIC kabuki masks

New Ware 1:48 Saab J-32 B/E Lansen - BASIC masks (kabuki)

A set of cut self-adhesive New Ware masks in 1:48 scale for painting a model of the Swedish two-seat Saab J-32 Lansen jet aircraft in the B and E versions. The masks are punched from thin kabuki (washi) paper with a fine adhesive that holds on the glazing and leaves no marks. It is not a kit and not a finished model - it is an accessory for a clean coat on the transparent parts and other surfaces. The BASIC designation is the basic level of the set.

What the set contains and how to use it

• Masks for the cockpit (the transparent parts)
• Masks for the wheels, for a clean separation of tire and hub
• The more detailed ADVANCED and EXPERT levels add masks for the frames and for the inner side of the cockpit respectively
• You stick the mask onto a clean, degreased surface, spray the paint and lift it carefully once it is dry

The real subject

The Saab 32 Lansen was a Swedish two-seat transonic jet aircraft of the 1950s. The J 32B version served as an all-weather fighter, while the J 32E was adapted for electronic warfare and jamming. The Lansen remained in Swedish service for decades, at the end of its career also as a target tug and a reconnaissance machine.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the Saab J-32 Lansen in 1:48 scale
• Everyone who wants sharp transitions of paint on the glazing without laborious taping
• Beginners as well as advanced builders working with an airbrush or a brush

This is a set of masks, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package. The masks are cut for a particular model of the given aircraft in this scale - before buying, check that they match your kit.
