    Mask sets and equipment needed for spraying.

    Starting in July, we are introducing new types
    of masking sets, which are designed to make the
    spraying of some of the more difficult or specific
    parts of the models easier. They are introduced
    in two series with the first one designed for
    spraying distinctive surface panels, like the
    now released set designed to mask out different
    shades of metal panels on the P-51 Mustang.
    The second series of the new masks is intended
    for spraying the insignia or other markings
    suitable for spraying using masks. In this case,
    let’s take the example of the just-released
    sets of insignia for the Zero and P-51 Mustang.
    Other sets of masks will follow. For example,
    masks to facilitate the spraying of Meng’s
    F-4E Phantom’s landing gear bays and
    airbrakes are due to August 2023. We believe
    the new masks will save many modelers time
    in preparations of the model for spraying. They
    are easy to use, as the following photo report
    shows.

    MASKS
    These mask sets are cut into black masking film. I recommend removing
    the individual segments with sharp tweezers. Before applying the masks,
    I also recommend taping the removed segments several times on a clean
    palm to reduce mask adhesion and so the risk of paint stripping during
    removal.
    Mask the individual panels on the model according to the instructions. The panels to be differentiated can either be masked directly or, on the contrary, their surroundings
    can be covered and the differentiating shade sprayed on the panels.

    The masks need to
    be carefully pulled off
    with pointed tweezers
    to avoid damage to the
    paint.
