1:72 Fw-187A-0 Falke canopy airbrush mask for Special Hobby

1:72 Fw 187A-0 Falke - canopy airbrush mask (MH Models)

A set of precisely die-cut self-adhesive masks for masking the canopy glazing during spraying. It is intended for the plastic Focke-Wulf Fw 187A-0 Falke kit in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit or parts of a model but an aid that markedly simplifies and improves the accuracy of painting the canopy frames. The maker is the Czech MH Models, which specializes in airbrush masks. The set is designed for the Special Hobby kit.

The real subject

The Focke-Wulf Fw 187 Falke was a German twin-engine heavy fighter of the late 1930s. The A-0 version was a pre-production batch; the aircraft was very fast for its day, but it never reached large-scale production and remained largely at the stage of test and demonstration machines. The precise, symmetrically divided canopy glazing makes masking one of the key operations in the build.

Use

• Take the mask carefully off the sheet and transfer it onto the glazing part concerned.
• Press the edges down carefully so that paint cannot creep underneath.
• Spray the frames with an airbrush or a brush, let them dry and take the mask off.
• Also suitable for masking other tiny areas as needed.

Who it is for

• Modelers building the Fw 187 in 1:72 scale who want sharp transitions on the canopy frames.
• Builders who want to avoid the lengthy business of marking off with tape by hand.

The mask is an accessory for the build. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
