Responsibility details are not available.
A pre-cut set of masking stencils for the canopy glazing of the German rocket-powered aircraft Messerschmitt Me 163A in 1:72 scale. It is made by the Czech brand Peewit, which cuts the stencils from yellow paper-fabric adhesive tape. The box gives the Me 163A from the Czech brand Special Hobby as the target kit. The package holds self-adhesive masks, not plastic parts and not decals.
The Me 163 was a tailless rocket-powered interceptor with a very short period of powered flight. The A series were the test and training machines on which the aerodynamics of the tailless airframe and the operation of the Walter rocket engine were proved out; only the combat B version entered operational service, as the Komet. It took off from a jettisonable dolly and landed on an extendable skid, which makes the type one of the most unusual designs of its day.
The masks are lifted off the carrier sheet with the point of a sharp modeling knife, transferred with pointed tweezers and pressed down with a sharpened wooden stick. It is that pressing down all the way round that decides the result: wherever the paint creeps under, a blurred edge appears. Degrease the canopy first, apply a thin coat of the frame color and lift the masking pieces off the same day, while the adhesive has not hardened. On a clear part use a stick, not a knife, so that no scratch is left.
This is an accessory to a model, not a kit of an aircraft. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
