The Eduard EX997 painting mask is a precisely cut mask dedicated to the P-47D-25 Thunderbolt aircraft model in 1/48 scale, produced by MINIART. This Eduard product was created to maximize the ease of painting details such as cockpits, canopies, or wheels, and to improve the realism of the final presentation of the model.

The P-47D-25 Thunderbolt was one of the most recognizable American fighters used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II, especially in the years 1943–1945. It served on many fronts, including Western Europe, Italy, and the Pacific, excelling both as an escort fighter and as a direct ground-attack bomber. Due to its durability and firepower, it gained tremendous recognition among Allied pilots.

The Eduard EX997 mask is made from carefully selected masking foil, resistant to acrylic paints, enamels, and modeling lacquers. The excellent adhesive allows for easy fit, even on the smallest parts of the cockpit or canopy, ensuring sharp paint lines with no paint bleed. The mask fits precisely to the dimensions of the MINIART P-47D-25 model parts, significantly reducing preparation time for painting and minimizing the risk of errors.

The set includes a complete set of masks to protect all clear parts and key details that require separate painting – both internal and external surfaces of the cockpit. As a result, the modeler can achieve a professional effect, even without years of experience in masking.

Recommendations: We recommend the Eduard EX997 masks to both beginner and advanced plastic modelers who value precision and work speed. This product greatly facilitates perfect color separations and reduces the need for manual cutting of masking tape.

• Difficulty level of use: 1/5 – a user-friendly product, suitable for all levels of expertise.
• Why is it worth it? Guarantees clean paint lines, saves time, and delivers a high level of finishing realism.
