The Eduard masking set in 1:32 scale for the Spitfire Mk.I offers pre-cut self-adhesive templates for the glazing, so cutting masks out of tape falls away.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is an accessory to a kit, not an airplane model. The set contains machine-cut self-adhesive masks cut exactly to the shape of the parts of a particular model in 1:32 scale. You simply lift a mask off the backing sheet, lay it on the clear part and press it down; the hand cutting of strips from masking tape, which on the glazing of a Spitfire means dozens of tiny frames, falls away. The result is straight edges with no steps and with no paint seeping under.
Watch out for the sister variant designated TFace: that one contains masks for the outer and the inner side of the glazing. This one is the basic version.
The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I was the first production version of the British single-seat fighter with an elliptical wing and a liquid-cooled Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine. Early machines are recognized by the simple shape of the canopy and by details of the exhausts and the propeller, which changed during production. It is precisely the large glazing that makes masking one of the most laborious parts of the build.
Before masking, wash the clear part in lukewarm water with detergent and let it dry completely, as a mask will not hold on a greasy surface. Move the mask across with tweezers and press it down with a toothpick or a wooden stick, above all in the corners. Spray the paint in several thin coats; one heavy coat will seep under the edge. It is a good idea to spray over the edge of the mask first with the interior shade or with varnish, so that any seepage does not show on the final color. Take the mask off while the finish has only set and is not yet fully hardened, again with tweezers and with an angled pull.
The set contains masking templates only. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
