This new set of canopy painting masks from Black Magic is designed for the 1/48 P-47D Razorback Tamiya kit.  Black Magic has a variety of vinyl painting masks for canopies and wheels and other items.  If you have ever spent the time to do exacting masking, you know the time such a job can consume.  A masking set will permit you to quickly and accurately mask the model or model part in a very quick and accurate way.  Such masking sets will permit you to finish the model quicker and move onto the next model on your workbench. 

These are very thin black vinyl masks that will make masking the canopy glass a quick and easy affair.  Once you've applied the mask......spray the exposed canopy framing the colour of the inside cockpit framing.  Then apply the exterior colour of the framing.  This will then permit you to see the canopy frames from the inside as the interior colour.

This particular masking set has individual masks to cover the cockpit windows and wheel hubs.  

The 2 pages of instructions are clear and include drawings to aid the installation as well as plenty of text giving helpful tips. 

A very nice masking set and sure to save you effort and grief when building this famous early P-47 fighter.  I recommend these to anyone faced with the task of masking this cockpit canopy and wheel hubs of the 1/48 Tamiya P-47D Razorback and wanting to save themselves the chore of masking.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
