Eduard EX101 Do 335A Pfeil 1/48 TAMIYA – canopy and wheel painting masks

Eduard EX101 painting masks are dedicated to the Do 335A Pfeil model in 1/48 scale, manufactured by the renowned company TAMIYA. This product is an extremely precise set of ready-to-use masks that greatly facilitate and speed up the painting process of hard-to-reach elements—mainly the cockpit canopy glazing and the airplane's wheels.

Purpose and compatibility

Eduard EX101 masks have been specially designed for the German fighter-bomber Dornier Do 335A Pfeil (German for "Arrow"), which was used by the Luftwaffe at the end of World War II. The TAMIYA 1/48 scale model perfectly reproduces the details of this unique aircraft, and the masks allow for a flawless finish on the cockpit windows as well as the wheel rims and tires.

Historical context of the aircraft

The Dornier Do 335A Pfeil is an extraordinary example of German aviation technology, introduced into service during the last years of World War II, mainly from 1944 onward. Thanks to its twin-propeller layout (one tractor and one pusher), this aircraft was one of the fastest propeller-driven fighters of its time, reaching impressive speeds above 750 km/h. The Do 335A took part in reconnaissance and fighter missions, though its production was very limited due to wartime difficulties.
