A canopy masking set for the P-40E in 1:48 made of yellow kabuki tape: precisely die-cut parts for the glazing of the Curtiss P-40 fighter. It is not a kit but an aid with which you spray the canopy frames with a sharp edge.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set contains die-cut masks of yellow kabuki tape intended for the canopy glazing of the American Curtiss P-40E fighter in 1:48 scale. The individual parts only need peeling off the sheet, laying on the relevant panes and the rest of the glazing covering over. That does away with the slow cutting of strips of tape or drawing the frames with a brush, which tends to be the commonest source of disappointment with an otherwise successful model.
Canopy frames are the first thing a viewer sees, and an uneven line shows even in a photograph. Kabuki tape holds its shape, follows slightly curved surfaces well and leaves no adhesive behind when removed. Paint does not creep under it as easily as under ordinary adhesive tape, so the edge stays sharp. Pre-cut parts also solve the awkwardly shaped places around the sliding section of the canopy, where masking by hand takes more time than the whole of the rest of the model.
Degrease the glazing first and let it dry completely. Transfer the parts with tweezers and press them down with a wooden toothpick, above all around the edge, so that no border stands proud. Cover the free inner areas with a piece of tape or with masking fluid. Spray the interior color first, then the base and finally the outer camouflage; keep the coats thin so that no step forms at the edge. Remove the mask soon after the paint has dried, pulling at a shallow angle to the surface. Keep the rest of the sheet, as it comes in useful for masking wheels or small areas.
The set serves for masking during painting. It does not contain the model, paints or glue.
