Airfix Avro Anson Mk.I 1/48 Masking Set

Make painting your Airfix Avro Anson Mk.I easier and more precise with this dedicated 1/48 masking set. Designed specifically for the compatible Airfix model kit, the pre-cut adhesive masks help create clean, sharp paint lines around the canopy, glazed nose and other transparent sections where accurate masking is especially important.

The masks are created using CAD data from the original model kit design, allowing each pre-cut shape to follow the intended curves and angles of the Anson’s glazing accurately. This saves time compared with cutting individual pieces of masking material by hand and provides a straightforward way to prepare the clear parts before painting.

Precision-Cut Masks for the Avro Anson Mk.I

The Avro Anson Mk.I features extensive glazing, making careful masking an important stage of the finishing process. These purpose-designed masks protect the transparent areas while leaving the surrounding frames ready for paint, helping you achieve crisp, clearly defined edges without relying on detailed freehand work.

The adhesive backing holds the masks securely during painting and is designed to remove cleanly afterwards without damaging the underlying paint or clear plastic. Simply position the pre-cut masks on the assembled clear parts, apply your chosen paint, allow it to dry and remove the masks to reveal accurately defined glazing.

Designed from Original Airfix Kit CAD Data

Using CAD information from the original kit allows the masks to be tailored specifically for the 1/48 Avro Anson Mk.I. The precision-cut shapes account for the curves and angles of the aircraft’s clear sections, providing a more controlled and efficient approach to canopy masking.

Suitable for modellers aged 8 years and above, the set is useful for both experienced builders looking to save preparation time and newer modellers who want a straightforward way to achieve clean paint boundaries.
