Trakz Armor Products
|
 |
‘Trakz’ is one of the newer product lines that has come
from the creative minds of VLS. They’ve produced a wide range of
1/35 resin and photo-etched detail accessories for a variety of armor
subjects, and have just started with vinyl stencil masks. In this increment,
Trakz has produced an interesting set of windshield wiper masks. What
are these for, you ask?
Have you noticed that many of the nicer weathered softskin vehicles
will sometimes still have perfectly clear windshields? Unless you live
somewhere near Perfect, most windshields start to accumulate dust, dirt
and bugs within 10 minutes after cleaning - and that is just city driving.
Imagine the weathering on glass out under combat conditions. These masks
will allow you to mask off where the windshield wipers would travel and
allow you to weather the remaining glass at the same time you are weathering
the rest of the vehicle. Not bad, eh?
