Category: Scale modeling painting masks

The Omask 80090 P-51 D invasion stripes 18 inches - Oramask (for Eduard) 1/48 set is an excellent choice for modelers wishing to recreate the distinctive, historical invasion stripes on a P-51 D Mustang model in the popular 1/48 scale. It has been developed specifically for Eduard plastic models, ensuring a perfect fit to the shape and dimensions of the miniature.

18-inch-wide invasion stripes were an essential feature of Allied aircraft camouflage during World War II. They were widely used by the United States, United Kingdom, and other Allied nations during the legendary D-Day operation—the Normandy invasion in June 1944. These stripes allowed for quick recognition of friendly planes from both the air and the ground, minimizing the risk of friendly fire. They are most closely associated with fighter aircraft like the P-51 D Mustang, which took part in bomber escort, ground attack, and providing air support on the Western Front.

The masks are made from high-quality Oramask film, characterized by precise cutting, excellent adhesion, and flexibility. They allow for easy and quick application and removal from the model’s surface without damaging delicate details or the base paint. By using Oramask vinyl film, you minimize the risk of paint seepage, achieving clean, sharp lines even on more difficult surfaces.
