About product

Omask 1:72 Spitfire Mask for the Leading Edge (for Eduard)

A set of precisely shaped self-adhesive masks for masking the leading edge of the Spitfire wing on models in 1:72 scale. The maker is Omask, a Czech specialist in masking sets for plastic models. The masks are cut to the shape of a particular kit - this variant is intended for Spitfire models from Eduard. It is not a kit or a part of a model but an accessory you will use at the painting stage.

Use

  • Lay the mask on the leading edge of the wing and press the edges down carefully, so that paint does not creep under it while spraying.
  • Spray the identification stripe on the leading edge (yellow in a number of Spitfire schemes) - the mask defines the exact dividing line against the camouflage.
  • In 1:72 scale the stripe is very narrow, so spray at lower pressure and in several thin coats; that reduces the risk of runs and creep.
  • Work according to the scheme you have chosen: either the light stripe first and then mask and spray the camouflage, or the other way round.
  • Remove the mask while the paint has not yet cured completely - the edge will stay sharp.

Why Spray Instead of a Decal

A sprayed stripe has none of the shiny edges of carrier film that often show through with decals on flat camouflage. That is particularly noticeable in the small 1:72 scale, because the decal is very narrow here and wrinkles or silvers easily on a rounded leading edge. Paint, by contrast, follows the shape of the edge and the surface texture, and the result looks natural.

Who the set is for

For modelers building a Spitfire in 1:72 who want a clean and faithful sprayed leading edge without decals. Suitable for moderately advanced and advanced modelers working with an airbrush. Paints, thinners and the model are not included in the package.

The masks serve only to mask during painting. When spraying paints and working with thinners, work in a well-ventilated space and use respiratory protection. Paints and thinners may be flammable. It contains small parts and is not suitable for small children.

FAQ

No. It is a masking set, that is an accessory for painting. The Spitfire model in 1:72, the paints and the thinners have to be obtained separately.

The set is shaped for Spitfire models from Eduard in 1:72 scale. On kits from other makers the shape of the leading edge may differ.

Yes. It is exactly in 1:72 that a decal on a narrow rounded edge is prone to wrinkling and silvering. A sprayed stripe has neither problem and looks more realistic.

Press the edges of the mask down thoroughly, spray at lower pressure and in thin coats, and direct the stream of paint away from the masked edge, inwards over the surface.
