1:32 Spitfire Mk.Ib/IIb/Vb Wheel Bays - FOAM Flexible Express Fit Mask (For Kotare)

Masking set for the wheel bays of the Spitfire Mk.Ib/IIb/Vb (1:32)

A set of flexible foam masks intended to cover the wheel bays when spraying the underside and the landing gear bays of the Spitfire fighter in 1:32 scale. The soft foam is simply pressed into the openings of the bays, where it is held by its own springiness, so that during airbrushing no paint runs inside the bays or onto the surrounding detail. Once removed and washed, the masks can be used again. The set is shaped for one particular kit of the early Spitfire with the type b wing in this scale.

Use

• Insert the foam segments into the wheel bays before you spray the underside.
• The foam adapts to the shape of the opening and protects the inside of the bays and the adjoining surfaces.
• Take the masks out once the spraying is done; they can be washed and used again.
• Suitable for an airbrush and for a spray can.

The real subject

The Supermarine Spitfire was a British single-seat fighter with a distinctive elliptical wing and a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. The early Mk.I and Mk.II versions bore the brunt of the fighting in 1940, and the Mk.V version became the most widely used fighter variant of the middle part of the war. The b wing designation corresponds to armament of two 20 mm cannon and four machine guns.

Who the set is for

• Modelers who want clean wheel bays without laborious hand masking.
• Builders of the Spitfire fighter in 1:32 scale.
• Everyone who sprays the underside of a model with an airbrush.

This is a masking aid, not a model. The paints, the glue and the kit are not included in the package.
