C-2A Greyhound, Painting Masks Scale 1:48 (Recommended for kit: Kinetic) Metallic Details MDM4828 - For Model Aircraft Kits

Metallic Details MDM4828 is a set of self-adhesive painting masks for the C-2A Greyhound in 1/48, recommended for the Kinetic kit. The masks help keep edges clean on a large, high-visibility transport airframe where glazing lines and crisp paint separations are easy to notice.

This is an upgrade set only (the aircraft model kit is not included). Use it to streamline masking work and to keep repeated edges consistent across both sides of the aircraft.

The C-2 Greyhound is a twin-engine carrier logistics aircraft. Builds often involve broad color areas and prominent clear parts, so a dedicated mask set helps you maintain symmetry and avoid hand-cut variations between left and right sides.

For modelers: apply masks on a clean, fully cured surface and burnish edges lightly, especially around compound curves near glazing. Spray a light “edge-seal” pass first, then build coverage in thin coats to reduce seepage. Remove masks once the paint has set but before it fully hardens to keep edges sharp.

FAQ

Are these masks intended for the Kinetic 1/48 C-2A Greyhound?

Yes. MDM4828 is listed as recommended for Kinetic and is designed for masking work on a 1/48 C-2A build.

Should I apply masks before or after clear coats?

Apply them over the cured layer you want to protect or modulate. Many builders mask over a gloss or semi-gloss surface for easier repositioning, then seal with a clear coat after painting steps are complete.

How can I avoid lifting paint when removing masks?

Make sure the base coat is fully cured and de-tack the mask slightly on clean fabric if needed. Peel back slowly at a low angle, supporting the edge with a fingertip.
