The Eduard TFace masking set in 1:32 scale for the Spitfire Mk.I masks the glazing from the outside and from the inside, so the frames look right even when you look into the cockpit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is an add-on to a kit, not an airplane model. The TFace designation at Eduard means that the set contains masks for both sides of the glazing, outer and inner. The cockpit frame can thus be sprayed from the outside in the airframe color and from the inside in the interior shade, which in the large 1:32 scale shows at first glance: a single layer of paint no longer shows through the clear part and the frame looks like a real structure. The basic variant of the set without TFace, which masks only from the outside, exists as a separate item.
The masks are machine-cut to the shape of the parts, so cutting strips out of masking tape by hand is no longer needed. On the glazing of the Spitfire, which consists of several divided sections, that saves a large part of the work.
The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I was the first production version of the British single-seat fighter with its characteristic elliptical wing and the liquid-cooled Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine. Early machines are recognized by the simpler shape of the cockpit canopy and by details of the propeller and the exhausts, which changed during production. The extensive glazing is one of the most laborious parts of the build on this type.
First wash the clear part in lukewarm water with detergent and let it dry completely. Start with the inner masks and spray the interior shade, and only then apply the outer masks and spray the airframe color. Carry the masks with tweezers and press them down with a toothpick, above all in the corners. Spray several thin coats; one heavy coat will run under the edge. Take the mask off while the coat is only just set: on fully cured paint the edge tears more easily. If a small seepage does appear, put it right by scratching with a toothpick, not with thinner.
The set contains painting masks only. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
