Painting Masks for Wessex model (for Italeri) Scale 1:72 DAN Models MS720008

DAN Models MS720008 is a painting mask set for helicopter builds of the Wessex HU-5 / HAS-3, UH-34 Seahorse and HSS-1 Seabat in 1/72. This aftermarket accessory for scale model kits is designed for Italeri tooling and helps define canopy framing and wheel hub edges with clean paint separation.

Helicopters in the Wessex and UH-34 family feature large glazed cockpit sections where uneven masking can quickly affect the final appearance. Pre-cut masks simplify the process and support consistent framing lines across the canopy panels.

For modelers: place the masks lightly first and confirm alignment with the canopy frames before pressing them down fully. Apply thin paint layers to avoid buildup along mask edges, and remove the masks only after the paint has dried to achieve sharper borders.
