Boeing B-17 G Flying Fortress, Painting Masks Scale 1:48 (Recommended for kit: Revel, Monogram) Metallic Details MDM4808 - For Aircraft Model Kit

Metallic Details MDM4808 Painting Masks are self-adhesive masks for Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress builds in 1/48, intended for Revell/Monogram kits. The practical angle here is clean, repeatable framing and edge lines on multi-panel glazing areas without relying on freehand cutting.

The B-17G has extensive clear parts and framing lines that visually define the finished model. Using pre-cut masks helps keep canopy glazing edges consistent and reduces touch-up work after paint.

For modelers: wash and degrease clear parts, then test each mask segment dry to confirm orientation before sticking it down. Burnish edges with a cotton bud, spray light coats to avoid paint creep, and remove masks soon after the paint cures to prevent adhesive marks. If you plan interior framing color, paint it first, re-mask if needed, then apply the exterior color.

FAQ

Do these masks cover exterior framing only?

The set is designed for glazing masking on the kit’s clear parts. If you paint interior framing first, you can use the masks to manage clean separation between interior and exterior colors.

How do I reduce the chance of paint creeping under the mask?

Burnish the edges, then spray several light coats rather than one heavy coat. Make sure the mask is fully seated along frame lines and corners.

When should I remove the masks?

Remove them after the paint has set but before it becomes very hard and brittle. Pull slowly back on itself to keep edges sharp.
