Eduard EX831 P-35 DORA WINGS 1/48 – Painting Mask for Plastic Model Kits

Eduard EX831 is a high-quality set of painting masks designed specifically for the P-35 Dora Wings plastic model in the popular 1/48 scale. This product is dedicated to modelers seeking professional painting effects on their miniatures – especially for achieving precise replication of the cockpit canopy and aircraft wheels.

History of the Seversky P-35 Aircraft

The aircraft for which this mask set was created is the American Seversky P-35 fighter, produced in the second half of the 1930s. The introduction of the P-35 into service with the US Army Air Corps marked a modernization of American aviation, thanks to its all-metal construction and integrated landing gear. With its complex-shaped and large-area windows, properly masking the canopy is key to achieving a realistic scale effect. These machines participated in combat in the early phase of World War II, most notably during the Pacific War, serving in both the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) and (in smaller numbers) in the Swedish Air Force.

Contents of the Eduard EX831 Set

The mask is cut from high-quality vinyl/foil, which is stretch-resistant and very convenient to use. It includes precisely fitted elements intended for the aircraft's canopy and wheels – thus, modelers only need to apply the ready-cut mask pieces to the appropriate surfaces of the model. No trimming or additional fitting is required, which saves time and guarantees excellent final results.
