Eduard 1/72 Revell B-17G Mask

By Matt Bittner

There are times when an aftermarket set is provided you look at and realize it's a must for finishing a particular kit. In this case it's Eduard's mask set (#CX 279) for the Revell 1/72 B-17G. There are a lot of clear pieces in this kit, with a lot of frames, and having to measure and cut your own masks for everything would be very time consuming. Sure, not above most modeler's skill level, but the price paid will be time. If you can subtract some time spent finishing a model than to me, personally, that's time well spent – time I could use on another model. Eduard's mask set for the Revell 1/72 B-17G has masks for each and every clear piece which will leave all frames open for painting. Excellent. In addition, there are masks for the wheels as well.

All in all a most necessary set for finishing the big Revell B-17G.

Huge thanks to Eduard for sending this set in for review.
