REVIEWER: |
As I get older, and perhaps a bit wiser, I've found that for some aircraft models, masks for the canopy have become worth the additional cost and effort to find them. This is especially true of aircraft such as the Ju-88. This particular set is for the recent Revell 1/72 kit, though one does wonder if it would also fit other 1/72 Ju-88s.
As you can see, there are a considerable number of panes of various sizes, some being quite small, that need to be covered. No way could I use the tape method on some of those and still get acceptable results. Not also that Eduard provides masks for the tires/wheels. While they would like you to first paint the tire, then apply the rings around the wheel, then mask off the rest of the tire with liquid mask, I've always first painted the wheel, then used the centers to mask it and finally paint the tire. Either way will provide good results.
Worth your efforts to hunt down.
