Omask 80081 P-51 B/C Invasion Stripes 18 inches - Oramask (for Eduard) 1/48

The masking set Omask 80081 P-51 B/C Invasion Stripes 18 inches - Oramask (for Eduard), in 1/48 scale, is a professional modeling accessory designed for P-51 B/C Mustang aircraft models manufactured by Eduard. This product was developed for demanding modelers who wish to accurately recreate the 18-inch-wide invasion stripes used during one of the most important operations of World War II – the Allied landing in Normandy, more widely known as D-Day (June 1944, World War II).

The P-51 Mustang was a fighter aircraft that played a key role in the operations of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) and their allies. During Operation Overlord, these planes were equipped with wide, black-and-white invasion stripes on their wings and fuselage, which allowed for rapid identification by friendly forces, minimizing the risk of being fired upon by Allied anti-aircraft defenses. These stripes became one of the most recognizable markings from the time of the Allied advance through Western Europe.

The masks are made from high-quality Oramask material, which is distinguished by optimal flexibility, exceptional adhesion to model surfaces, and resistance to tearing or paint seepage. Thanks to precision cutting, the masks fit the model components exactly, significantly reducing preparation time for painting and eliminating errors associated with manual cutting or masking with tape. The result is clean lines with no need for corrections. The product is intended for use with Eduard 1/48 plastic models.
