The Grumman F3F-2 is an American carrier-based fighter from the interwar period and the last biplane of its type in the United States Navy. The F3F-2 aircraft was mainly used by the US Navy between 1937 and 1941, with its primary role being a bridge between older aircraft designs and the modern monoplane fighters that appeared just before World War II. The Grumman F3F-2 has gone down in history as one of the most recognizable American biplanes, featuring a distinctive appearance and performance characteristics typical of the end of the biplane era.

The Eduard EX891 mask set is made from precisely cut self-adhesive modelling film, which ensures excellent adhesion to the surface of the model. The masking elements are designed to perfectly fit the cockpit glazing and any other transparent parts of the Academy F3F-2 model, greatly facilitating the preparation of details for painting. Using the masks allows you to achieve extremely sharp and even paint edges quickly — something that’s impossible to accomplish with hand-cut masking tape.

We recommend this product to both experienced modellers expecting the highest quality finish, and beginners starting their adventure with model painting – the masks significantly simplify the most challenging stages of the work. Recommended assembly difficulty: 1/5 – the masks are easy and intuitive to use.

Choosing Eduard EX891 masks guarantees perfect detail protection and a significant reduction in working time, without the risk of paint seeping underneath. The perfect fit for the ACADEMY F3F-2 model makes this modelling accessory ideal even for the most demanding aviation enthusiasts.
