This new set of canopy painting masks from Black Magic is designed for the 1/48 Hasegawa AV-8B Harrier 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 canopy 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 it will be a treat to use when building the very nice 1/48 Hasegawa Harrier kit.

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