Eduard 1/72 Harrier GR.3 Canopy Mask
By Chris Banyai-Riepl
Overview
The Airfix 1/72 Harrier GR.3 is a very welcome kit, even if they did manage to get the fin wrong (it's too short at the tip, completely changing the look of the fin). For those looking to speed up the finishing process, Eduard has a useful mask set for the kit.
The Masks
The Harrier has a nice combination of wide open canopy and framed windscreen, so having a mask for this canopy is actually quite nice. The windscreen gets masks for each individual panel, while the canopy has a bit more work required. The masks for that cover the edges of the framing, but the large interior section is uncovered and you will have to go back over that with some liquid masking. There are also masks included for the wheels, where you can paint the wheel, mask it, and then paint the tire.
Conclusion
This is a nice masking set for the Airfix kit, and one which will be simple to use in finishing your model. My thanks to Eduard for the review sample.
