Sukhoi Su-11, Panels Painting Masks Scale 1:48 (Recommended for kit: Trumpeter) Metallic Details MDM4821 - For Aircraft Models Kits

Metallic Details MDM4821 is a set of self-adhesive painting masks for panel detailing on the Sukhoi Su-11 in 1/48, recommended for the Trumpeter kit. This set is aimed at controlled panel-by-panel shading and tonal variation, helping you build a neat layered finish without freehand overspray.

This is an upgrade set only (the aircraft model kit is not included). The masks are intended to support exterior painting steps on the completed airframe.

The Su-11 is part of the early Sukhoi jet interceptor line. On many builds, the visual interest comes from subtle surface changes rather than heavy markings, so a panel mask set is a practical way to keep shading consistent across the airframe.

For modelers: apply masks over a fully cured base coat and burnish edges lightly to prevent paint creep. Spray several light passes instead of one wet coat, then remove the mask once the paint has set but before it fully hardens. Keep a simple map of which panels you’ve already done to avoid repeating tones on symmetrical areas.

FAQ

Are these masks intended for the Trumpeter Su-11 kit?

Yes. MDM4821 is listed as recommended for Trumpeter and is designed for panel-focused painting work on a 1/48 Su-11 build.

Do I apply the masks before or after the main camouflage colors?

Use them over the cured base color you want to modulate. Many builders do panel shading after the main colors are down, then seal the result with a clear coat before decals.

How can I reduce the risk of paint seeping under mask edges?

Burnish edges lightly and spray light coats first to seal the boundary. Avoid heavy wet coats early, and remove the mask carefully to keep edges sharp.
