Painting Masks for Mi-8T/MT helicopter (for Zvezda 7230.7253) Scale 1:72 DAN Models MS 720003

DAN Models MS 720003 is a die-cut painting mask set for the Mi-8T/MT helicopter designed for 1/72 scale model builds. The set supports precise canopy frame and wheel hub masking for the Zvezda Mi-8 kit.

Helicopter glazing often includes multiple frame segments that can be difficult to mask manually at smaller scales. Pre-cut masks simplify this step by helping define consistent frame edges and paint boundaries across the cockpit glazing and landing gear wheels.

For modelers: place each mask on a clean surface and check alignment before painting. Press the edges down carefully along the frame lines to prevent paint seepage, and remove the masks only after the paint has partially cured to keep the edge sharp.

FAQ

Are these masks designed specifically for the Zvezda Mi-8 kit?

Yes. The set is intended for Zvezda Mi-8T/MT kits in 1/72 scale and matches the canopy layout of those models.

What areas of the model are covered by the masks?

The masks are designed for the cockpit canopy framing and the wheel hubs to help create clean paint separation lines.

Should the masks be removed immediately after painting?

It is usually better to wait until the paint begins to set. This helps prevent smearing and keeps the paint edges sharp.
