A mask set for the Fairey Albacore Mk.I and Mk.II in 1:72 scale from the Special Mask brand. The box designates it for Special Hobby kits. It is not an aircraft kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of painting masks for a model of the British Fairey Albacore torpedo bomber in the Mk.I and Mk.II versions, 1:72 scale. It is not an aircraft kit but an aid: the masks cover the glazing and the areas that are to stay clean during spraying. The box designates the set for Special Hobby kits, which release the Albacore in this scale. The Special Mask brand is the masking range of the same Czech manufacturer. The exact number of masks is not stated here.
The Fairey Albacore was a British carrier torpedo and bomber biplane of the Fleet Air Arm. It had an enclosed three-seat cabin and was created as the successor to the Swordfish, with which it in the end served alongside. It was powered by a Bristol Taurus radial engine. The difference between the Mk.I and Mk.II designations lies precisely in the engine: the earlier machines had the Taurus II of around eleven hundred horsepower, the later ones the more powerful Taurus XII. The earliest series also carried non-tapered engine cowlings and wheel covers, which production later abandoned. Eight hundred machines were built in all, including two prototypes.
The glazing of a biplane is divided into many small panes, so lay the masks out according to the instructions first and only then stick them on. Degrease the surface, press the mask down and work the edge in with a wooden stick. Spray at lower pressure and in thin passes, so that the paint does not creep under the edge. Lift the mask off while the paint is dry only on the surface. Paint the struts and the wing bracing before you glue them in; on a biplane you will not reach them afterwards.
The set is supplied without paints. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
