Eduard EX266 F-105G 1/48 HOBBY BOSS model masks

Eduard EX266 F-105G 1/48 is a high-quality factory-made masking set designed for professional painting of the F-105G Thunderchief model in 1:48 scale by HOBBY BOSS. This product was developed by the Czech manufacturer Eduard – a leader in the field of modeling accessories and plastic model upgrades.

The masks are precisely cut from matte vinyl film, which guarantees perfect adhesion to the surface of the model and accurate protection of cockpit transparencies, landing gear parts, or headlights during airbrush or brush painting. This allows the modeler to achieve sharp, realistic edges, saving time by eliminating the need for manual cutting and fitting of masking tape.
