Boeing B-17G, Flying Fortress, Painting Masks Scale 1:48 (Recommended for kit: HK Models) Metallic Details MDM4809 - For Model Kit Aircraft

Metallic Details MDM4809 is a set of self-adhesive Painting Masks for the Boeing B-17G “Flying Fortress” in 1/48, recommended for the HK Models kit. The practical value of masks on a large airframe is consistent framing and cleaner edges across multiple clear parts and repeated panels, without relying on hand-cut tape for each section.

The B-17G is a four-engine aircraft with extensive glazing and clearly defined canopy framing. Masks help keep the transparent parts neat through primer, paint, and varnish stages, while leaving the build open to your chosen markings and finish approach.

For modelers: wash and fully dry the clear parts before masking, then test each piece for orientation (left/right, inside/outside) before you remove backing paper. Burnish the mask edges with a cotton swab, spray a light seal coat (clear or interior color) along the edges, and only then apply the main exterior color. Remove masks after the paint has set but before it becomes fully hard to reduce edge lift.
