A set of 1:72 masks for the Sikorsky CH-54A Tarhe from Eduard for the ICM kit. This is not a kit, but a set of die-cut self-adhesive masks for masking the cockpit glazing and the wheels during painting.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not a kit, but a modeling accessory: precisely die-cut self-adhesive masks that you use to cover the model's clear parts before spraying. Per the manufacturer's instructions, the set covers the cockpit glazing and also the landing gear wheels; large interior areas are filled in with masking fluid. Cut for the ICM kit in 1:72 scale.
The cabin frames are narrow, curved and numerous. Cutting them out of tape by hand is slow and imprecise — the edge wanders and paint bleeds underneath. A ready-made mask gives a sharp edge with no bleed and saves hours of work. Above all, it protects the clear part: smeared paint on a canopy is a nightmare to fix. And since this helicopter's cockpit is glazed almost all the way around, a mask pays off here more than almost anywhere else.
The Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe, known by the nickname Skycrane, is an American heavy flying-crane helicopter: instead of a conventional fuselage, it has only a slender frame from which cargo is slung. In Vietnam it carried heavy equipment and became famous for recovering downed aircraft from the field. The cockpit has extensive glazing, including a station for the operator who watches the load slung beneath the aircraft.
Apply the mask to a clean, degreased clear part and do not stretch it over an edge. Spray thin coats. Remove it while the paint is still fresh — once fully cured, the tape can pull the paint off with it. Remove any adhesive residue gently, not with an aggressive thinner, which would cloud the clear plastic.
The mask set is not a kit or a model. It contains no plastic parts, paints or glue — the base kit must be purchased separately.
