This nice set is for the Italeri 1/72 Ju-188 bomber. It is because of kits like this one that these are so very useful. As you can see, most of the panes are quite small and there are a LOT of them. While back when I was younger, I had no issue hand masking things like this, but as the hands and eyes get older, I find mask sets to be well worth the money.

The set comes with a very large instruction/placement guide, and if you have this kit or look at the above image, you can see why that is the case.  The sheet is broken down in a large number of specific sections to ensure that you get these in the right place. As with other sets from Eduard, you get wheel masks to help you paint the wheels. The very front and rear pieces are only provided as outlines and you need to fill in the space with liquid mask.

If you have this particular kit, you'll be doing yourself a real favor by looking for this one. As a note, the Italeri Ju-188 can often be found for what goes for a pittance at swap meets and even for reasonable money from various on-line sites.
