Bell Boeing MV-22 Osprey, Painting Masks Scale 1:48 (Recommended for kit: HobbyBoss) Metallic Details MDM4825 - For Model Kit Aircraft

Metallic Details MDM4825 is a set of self-adhesive painting masks for the Bell Boeing MV-22 Osprey in 1/48, recommended for HobbyBoss kits. The masks help keep paint edges consistent on a complex airframe with large glazing, nacelles, and multiple surface transitions.

The Osprey’s tiltrotor layout brings together aircraft and rotorcraft-style shapes, so masking work often includes tight corners and long edge lines in the same project. This set supports a more controlled workflow when you want clean demarcations without repeatedly measuring and cutting tape.

For modelers: test placement on clean parts and burnish the edges, especially around curved canopy sections and nacelle contours. Spray several light coats rather than one heavy pass. If you need to reposition a mask, lift it with a sharp tip to avoid stretching and to keep the edge line crisp.

FAQ

Are these masks designed for a specific kit release?

They are recommended for HobbyBoss 1/48 MV-22 Osprey kits. Test-fit on your clear parts and major panels before painting, as tooling and part fit can vary between releases.

How do I reduce paint bleed on curved canopy sections?

Burnish mask edges firmly and apply multiple light coats. A smooth surface helps, and avoiding heavy wet coats reduces the chance of seepage.

When should I remove the masks?

Remove them after the paint has set but before it fully hardens. This helps keep edges clean and reduces the risk of lifting.
