It offers precise fitting, ensuring clean and sharp demarcation lines without the need for time-consuming manual masking.

Precision workmanship – effective masking for F/A-18E cockpit and wheels

Eduard CX521 masks are made from precisely cut yellow vinyl tape, which offers high flexibility and perfect adhesion. Thanks to this, they perfectly conform to the curved and irregular surfaces of the cockpit glazing. The product includes both external and internal TFace-type masks, which allows for precise painting of the cockpit also from the interior side, guaranteeing a high level of realism – rarely available in other mask sets.

Historical and modelling information
