About product

Omask 1:48 T-6G Texan / Harvard — wheel bay plugs (for Italeri)

A set of shaped plugs of flexible foam for the wheel bays of a T-6G model in 1:48 scale. It is NOT a kit or an aircraft model — it is a masking accessory intended for the kit from Italeri, which you have to have.

What the plugs are for

A painted wheel bay has to be masked while the model is sprayed from the outside, or you will ruin the finished interior with overspray. Masking a deep, irregular cavity with tape and cotton wool is slow and it does not seal properly anyway. A foam plug goes into the bay, compresses and seals it by itself — it holds without glue and does not have to line up to hundredths of a millimeter like a hard 3D print. Once the paint is dry it comes out. At the same time it protects the bay from dust and sanding slurry and it can be used again.

The real subject

The North American T-6 is an American advanced trainer and one of the most widespread training machines in the history of aviation — the overwhelming majority of Allied pilots passed through it. In American service it was called the Texan, while the air forces of the British Commonwealth (the RAF, the RCAF and others) used the name Harvard for the same aircraft — hence both names in the title; these are not two different machines. The T-6G is the postwar modernized version, rebuilt from older machines; it flew for a long time after the war and in a number of countries it also served as a light combat aircraft.

Compatibility and use

  • Intended exclusively for the Italeri kit in 1:48 — the plugs will not fit a kit from another manufacturer.
  • First paint the interior of the bays and let it dry thoroughly, and only then put the plugs in.
  • Press the plug in so that it lines up with the outline of the bay and does not stick out under the sprayed surface.
  • Once the spraying is finished and dry, pull the plug out.

A modeling accessory. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

Yes. It is the same North American T-6 — in the USA the name Texan was used, in the air forces of the British Commonwealth the name Harvard. That is why both names appear in the designation of the set.

No. It is a masking accessory — foam plugs for the wheel bays. You have to have your own T-6G kit in 1:48 scale from Italeri.

No. The set is shaped directly to the bays of the Italeri kit in 1:48. Every kit has its bays differently, so the plugs are made for a particular kit and will not fit a different one.

Paint the interior of the bay and let it dry, put the plug in and press it so that it lines up with the outline. Then spray the model from the outside. Once the paint is dry you pull the plug out and the bay stays clean.
