Eduard EX861 OH-13 TFace ITALERI 1/48 – painting masks for canopy and wheels

The Eduard EX861 TFace mask set dedicated to the OH-13 helicopter model in 1/48 scale, produced by Italeri, is an extremely practical and precise modeling accessory. This product belongs to the category of "painting masks for model kits" and is made from high-quality matte self-adhesive film, ensuring perfect adhesion to model components and leaving clean, sharp lines after painting.

The OH-13 Sioux is an American light multi-purpose helicopter, produced since the late 1940s. The aircraft was widely used primarily by the United States during the Korean War (1950–1953), where the OH-13 gained fame as a medical evacuation helicopter. It was also operated by several NATO countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, and Italy, for both military and civilian purposes throughout many years of the Cold War period.

The Eduard EX861 TFace mask set consists of precisely cut elements that allow for professional masking not only of the outer, but also the inner surfaces of the glazed OH-13 cockpit in 1/48 scale, as well as the landing gear wheels. The use of the TFace solution raises the level of realism, as it keeps the canopy glass clean both inside and outside, which is of particular importance for helicopters with large transparent surfaces and highly detailed interiors.
