1:35 He-111 H-6 - Double-Sided Painting Mask (for Border Model Kits)

Painting mask 1:35 Heinkel He 111 H-6 – double-sided, for Border Model (Art Scale)

A precisely die-cut self-adhesive painting mask for the glazing of the Heinkel He 111 H-6 model in 1:35 scale from the Czech brand Art Scale. It is intended for the large kit from Border Model. It is a double-sided mask: it masks the frames of the glazing inside and outside.

What it is for

The He 111 has its characteristic fully glazed greenhouse nose made up of many small frames, and in the large 1:35 scale there is an enormous amount of that glazing. Masking it by hand with tape would take endless time; a pre-cut mask shortens the work fundamentally and gives sharp frames and clean glass. The double-sided version also lets you spray the frames in the interior color within and the exterior color without, as on the real aircraft. With glazing as broken up as this, a mask really does save a great deal of time.

The real subject

The Heinkel He 111 was a German twin-engine bomber of the Second World War, easily recognized by its fully glazed nose with the asymmetric pilot's canopy. The H-6 version was among the most widespread and was committed on many fronts. For an aircraft, 1:35 is an unusually large scale: this is a sizeable model matching a modern premium kit.

Use

• clean and degrease the glazing first
• stick the inner pieces down first and spray the interior color, then the outer pieces and the exterior color
• move the pieces with tweezers and press them down carefully along the frames
• spray in thin layers and take the mask off while the paint is fresh

Who it is for

For builders of the large 1:35 Heinkel He 111 from Border Model who want to avoid endless hand masking and want the glazing sprayed perfectly inside and out.

This is an accessory, not a model. Paints and the kit are not included in the package.
