Eduard CX306 1/72 A6M2 Zero Paint Mask for Airfix kit
How-to:
Preparing the masks: Masks should not be stretched during the application process as they are flexible and this could cause deformation. Remove the whole mask if necessary, and then apply again. Once placed on the model, the mask surface should be adjusted to the surface of the model by tracing all the indentations with a pointed wooden stick.
Painting method: Try not to apply two coats of color at the edges of a mask. Instead, apply one color prior to painting the proper camouflage, and apply the other color after the mask is back on. Otherwise, the coating in the areas encased by the mask may be too thick, and after removing the mask the edges of the lighter color may become visible.

This is an impressive mask. I've found the Eduard mask segments are cut very accurately to precisely fit the tricky curved panel in the Airfix Zero A6M2 canopy. I'm talking extreme 1/72 accuracy here with no need for trimming. I had the masks fully on the canopy in 30 minutes. The tape is of the high quality type used by Tamiya. Tips: gently bend/roll the mask between your fingers to loosen the cut tape allowing easy lifting off the backing paper. Sometimes a little gentle nudging with a finger nail helps the mask segments be in position correctly on the canopy. Worth every cent for time saved, ease of use, and precision.
