Omask 73202 Bf 109 E wheel bay plugs (for Trumpeter) 1/32

Omask 73202 Bf 109 E wheel bay plugs is a dedicated set of plugs made from flexible foam, designed for Messerschmitt Bf 109 E scale models (1/32), manufactured by Trumpeter (catalog numbers: 02288, 02289, 02290, 02291). This precisely fitted product is an essential accessory during the painting process of highly detailed plastic models of one of the most famous WWII fighter aircraft.

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 E, originating from Germany, is an aviation icon of the WWII era. The aircraft was widely used by the Luftwaffe from 1939 onwards, including the Polish campaign and the famous Battle of Britain. The “E” variant was produced and used in 1938–1941, featuring an enclosed main landing gear bay that resulted in this model's characteristic silhouette.

Omask 73202 is made from high-quality, flexible foam that fits perfectly with the geometry of the wheel bay, eliminating the risk of paint seepage under the mask. Its main purpose is to protect model components during precise paint application with an airbrush or brush, ensuring a professional result and saving time otherwise spent on laborious masking with modeling tape.
