BAe Harrier GR Mk,7, Canopy Painting Masks Scale 1:48 (Recommended for kit: Hasegawa) Metallic Details MDM4823 - For Aircraft Model Kits

Metallic Details MDM4823 Painting Masks cover the canopy framing and the pyrocord pattern for a BAe Harrier GR Mk.7 build in 1/48 using the Hasegawa kit. The practical advantage is controlling two tricky areas at once: crisp frame edges on complex glazing, and a consistent pyrocord line without freehand masking.

This set is suitable for the second-generation Harrier family canopy used on GR5 / GR7 / GR9 projects (kit- and variant-dependent). It is intended to support clean glazing work and repeatable results across multiple builds.

For modelers: polish and degrease the clear parts first, then test-place each mask segment before pressing down. Burnish edges firmly, especially around corners, and paint the pyrocord color in thin passes to avoid ridges. Remove masks after the paint has set but before it fully hardens, pulling back over itself to reduce the chance of lifting.

FAQ

What does “pyrocord” mean in this mask set?

It refers to the visible line pattern on the canopy glazing that can be represented with masking during painting. The set includes mask elements intended to help keep that line consistent.

Do these masks work for GR5 and GR9 as well?

The set is intended for the Harrier II GR family canopy used on GR5/GR7/GR9 projects, but fit can be kit-dependent. Check the canopy part shape in your box before painting.

How do I reduce paint seepage along mask edges?

Burnish the edges, then apply paint in light coats. A thin clear coat over the mask edge before the frame color can also help seal the boundary.
