Eduard EX983 Z-526 Trenér Master TFace 1/48 – painting mask

Eduard EX983 Z-526 Trenér Master TFace 1/48 is an advanced painting mask designed specifically for the Eduard Z-526 Trenér Master model in the popular 1/48 scale. This product is an invaluable aid when working with this Czech trainer aircraft, which was used by many Central and Eastern European countries in the post-war period and during the Cold War. The Zlin Z-526 Trenér was widely used from the 1960s as a basic training and aerobatics aircraft both in Czechoslovakia and in other countries, such as Poland, Hungary, and Germany.

The EX983 mask uses innovative TFace technology, which means it enables precise protection and painting of both the outside and inside of the cockpit canopy. This allows for a very realistic finish of the cockpit, with accurately detailed window frames – an effect highly appreciated by experienced modelers.
