Eduard EX994 Mi-17 TFace TRUMPETER 1/48 is a high-quality set of painting masks, dedicated for the Mi-17 helicopter model inside and out, specifically designed for the Trumpeter 1/48 scale kit. The product comes from the renowned Czech model accessories manufacturer, Eduard, known for their precise masking material cutting technologies.

The Mi-17 is a Soviet/Russian transport helicopter used by many countries around the world, especially Russia, but also countries in the Middle East, Asia, and Central and Eastern Europe. The machine entered service at the end of the 1970s and has been widely used for transport, airborne assault, and rescue missions, both during the Cold War and in modern times. The Mi-17 played an important role in combat operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and during UN peacekeeping missions, becoming one of the most widely used transport helicopters in the world.

The Eduard EX994 masks are intended for:

• precisely masking pilot canopy transparencies
• masking other transparent elements of the Mi-17 model
• covering both the external and internal surfaces of the windows
• preparing the model for full camouflage or detail painting without the risk of overspilling paint onto transparent areas

The set is made from high-quality, flexible masking foil – ideal for use with both acrylic and enamel paints. The masks are precisely cut on plotters and perfectly matched to the shape of the Trumpeter Mi-17 model in 1/48 scale, which significantly reduces preparation time for painting and guarantees a perfect finish for all transparent parts.

Product category: masking set for plastic model kits.

Recommendation: The Eduard EX994 set is recommended for every modeler building the Trumpeter Mi-17 in 1/48 scale – both intermediate and advanced hobbyists. Thanks to these masks, it is possible to achieve extraordinary detail and straight masking lines on windows and other transparent parts.

Difficulty of use: 2/5 – the masks are easy to use, also suitable for modelers with basic experience.

This product is an excellent choice if you value an aesthetic, realistic final effect when painting your Mi-17 helicopter model and want pleasurable, efficient work.
