The De Havilland Hornet F.1 was a British single-seat, twin-engine fighter developed just at the end of World War II and was intensively used in the post-war period, especially between 1945 and 1956. Known for its incredible maneuverability and performance, the Hornet F.1 served mainly in the Royal Air Force, participating among others in actions in the Far East during the Malayan Emergency.

The Eduard EX459 mask set has been precisely designed based on the actual HOBBY BOSS model in this scale, ensuring a perfect fit to the cockpit frame lines and glazed surfaces. The masks are cut from high-quality, self-adhesive modeling foil that leaves no glue residue and does not damage delicate plastic parts. The set includes masks for both the pilot's canopy glass and the main and auxiliary landing gear wheels, ensuring perfectly sharp paint lines and eliminating paint seepage.

The use of painting masks significantly increases the quality of the final result – sharp lines and precise edges make it easy to replicate even complex divisions on the aircraft's glazing. The Eduard EX459 set is an ideal choice for intermediate and advanced modelers who want to achieve a professional effect without risking damage to elements with imprecise masking tape.

• Difficulty level: 1/5
• Recommended for all modelers, both beginners and advanced, who value convenience and a perfect result when painting 1/48 scale models.

By choosing the Eduard EX459 masks for the Hornet F.1, you gain precision, speed, and safety for your model, making this product an indispensable element of every aviation and World War II/post-war modeling enthusiast's workshop.
