Eduard EX041 is a specialist mask set dedicated to the plastic model of the SH-3/S-61 helicopter in 1:48 scale, designed especially for modelers assembling the HASEGAWA kit. This product was created in response to the needs of modeling enthusiasts who wish to achieve the most impressive and precise finish for models from the Cold War era as well as modern times. The offered mask enables you to quickly paint hard-to-reach parts of the cockpit and windows, thereby ensuring a professional final result.

The SH-3/S-61, also known as the Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King, is an American multi-purpose helicopter used in a wide range of operations, from rescue missions to anti-submarine warfare. It entered service in the United States at the beginning of the 1960s and took part in naval operations during the Cold War, as well as being used by many armed forces of NATO, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Thanks to its versatility, this helicopter served for several decades, becoming an icon of naval aviation.

The Eduard EX041 mask is made from high-quality vinyl – a material resistant to model paints. The precisely cut elements fit perfectly to the shape of the cockpit parts in the HASEGAWA model, which greatly facilitates painting the windows and masking other precise helicopter details. The product is intended primarily for modelers who want to achieve realistic detail reproduction without the risk of paint bleeding or damaging transparent parts.
