| The Masking Seal |
|
| The pre-cut sheet feels almost like
Tamiya masking tape. I peeled off a small part of the mask from the
sheet. It came off easily, and just like the masks for the Prince
of Wales and Legion kits, the backing doesn't feel like it has
an excessive amount of adhesive on it. Which means it probably won't
leave a stick residue. The masks are extremely thin, so be
careful when removing them and applying them to the model. The set
of masks is quite extensive, especially for very small ship, enabling you
to cover the decks and the small superstructure platforms. |

| INSTRUCTIONS |
| The instructions
are are located on the back of the packaging insert. They are
very simple and self explanatory. |

| CONCLUSIONS |
| This masking set is made specifically
for Flyhawk's basic G-39 kit (FH1309). The masks are
sharply cut, and easy to remove from the backing. They are also very
thin, and you should be careful when removing them from the backing and
placing them on the model. These masks are a great idea, and
should cut down building time for those of us - like me - who like to airbrush
our decks and horizontal surfaces before painting the rest of the
model.
This is Flyhawk set FH710049, the Masking Seal
set for their SMS G-39 Großes Torpedoboot kit. It retails
for around $18.00. Thanks to Flyhawk
for the review sample. Highly recommended. |
