The Montex masks are good but don't let them set for long. They will start to lift on the edges. Put them on just before you paint.
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

I have been wanting this kit since I first saw it on Hobbyboss’s website years ago, that and their Bearcat. Which scheme are you gonna do on this Joe?

Some advice that’s definitely worth taking for all who don’t know. Honestly you’ve only got a day or maybe two till they start lifting.

Is if something where you can just snug then down before a paint session or are you screwed after that? I notice that sometimes the Eduard masks will do that but just push them back down with a clean eraser on a pencil and you are back in business for a couple hours.

Blohm & Voss is a still active shipyard in my hometown. They also built the Bismarck and a lot of WW2 submarines (Type VII and XXI).
:P1:

Got the same bargain from MBK. A new prop is on the way from Ultracast!

Something tells me that I'm going to need a set of Eduard Masks then if that's the case. Thanks for the heads up Thomas!

You´re welcome!
In the bargain set from Modellbau König (https://www.modellbau-koenig.de/en/Airc ... -White-Box) the masking set and colour PE from Eduard are already included! :tongue:
