Eduard EX518 Nieuport Ni-11 EDUARD 1/48 – painting masks for canopies and wheels

The Eduard EX518 set is a high-quality collection of masks dedicated to the Nieuport Ni-11 model in 1/48 scale, manufactured by the renowned Czech company Eduard. This product is an invaluable accessory for modelers who value precision and convenience when painting details on their model of this famous fighter aircraft.

The Nieuport Ni-11, also known as the “Bébé,” is a French fighter plane that was widely used during World War I. This lightweight and agile biplane played a significant role between 1915 and 1917, serving in the air forces of France, Italy, Russia, Belgium, and Great Britain. It was distinguished by its highly effective construction and quickly became one of the symbols of aviation during the Great War—fighting, among others, on the Western Front, defending the skies against German Fokker E types.

Eduard EX518 masks are laser-cut from high-grade Oramask vinyl or film, ensuring perfect adhesion and enabling precise paint application to surfaces that are difficult to mask by hand, such as aircraft canopies or wheels. The components in this set allow you to quickly prepare your model for painting, protecting the cockpit glass and wheel rims from accidental paint smudges. The masks leave no adhesive residue and are easy to apply and remove.
