The set allows for precise color separation and realistic edges without the risk of paint seeping onto the windows or onto elements that need to be protected from paint.

Material and Contents

The masks are made from high-quality yellow Oramask self-adhesive foil, which adheres perfectly to the model's surface without leaving adhesive residue. The set includes plotter-cut sections for glazing and other small parts, together with a clear assembly instruction.
