Eduard EX1060 – Mask Set for A-4B Skyhawk Model (Hobby 2000, Hasegawa) 1/48

Eduard EX1060 is a high-quality set of precision modeling masks, designed specifically for the A-4B Skyhawk attack aircraft in 1/48 scale. This product was created with models offered by renowned manufacturers—Hobby 2000 and Hasegawa—in mind, ensuring perfect fit of all elements.

The masks allow the modeler to safely and precisely separate the surfaces intended for painting:

• cockpit canopy glazing, including both movable and fixed parts
• main and nose landing gear wheels

Thanks to the use of an extremely thin vinyl film with perfect adhesion, the Eduard EX1060 masks allow for sharp edges and minimize the risk of paint bleeding under the edges, which can be particularly problematic when painting advanced models. An additional advantage is the fast and clean removal after painting—masks leave no adhesive residue on polycarbonate and plastic parts.

This model became famous for its compact design, high maneuverability, and a wide range of combat applications during the Cold War era.
