Boeing B-29 Superfortress, Painting Masks Scale 1:48 (Recommended for kit: Revel, Monogram) Metallic Details MDM4810 - For Models Aircraft Kits

Metallic Details MDM4810 is a set of self-adhesive painting masks for the Boeing B-29 Superfortress in 1/48, recommended for Revell/Monogram kits. The masks are intended to help keep glazing edges and frame lines consistent during painting, especially on large multi-panel clear parts.

The B-29 has prominent cockpit and glazing areas that can dominate the finished look. Using pre-cut masks keeps the framing work repeatable and helps you focus on the overall paint finish rather than manual tape cutting.

For modelers: clean the clear parts first (mild soap and water), then apply masks with a toothpick or cotton swab to avoid fingerprints. Burnish edges along frame lines, and add tiny relief cuts where curves tighten so the mask sits flat. Remove masks after paint fully cures to reduce the chance of lifting soft edges.

FAQ

What parts do these masks cover?

The set is designed for B-29 glazing areas on the recommended kits. Exact coverage is defined by the mask layout included in the package.

Should I paint the interior frame color first?

If your build shows interior framing through the clear parts, you can spray the interior color first, then the exterior color. Keep coats light to avoid paint buildup along mask edges.

How do I avoid paint bleed under masks?

Burnish the edges firmly, spray light coats, and avoid flooding paint into corners. A quick pass of clear gloss along the edge can also help seal the mask before the main color.
