Hi,

I got one question this time, the subject line pretty saying it all, does Eduard make masks for their / Gavia's 1:48 Westland Lysander?

While looking around for accessories, I remembered I haven't got masks for that kit yet, but I only found mentions of the older style Eduard express masks for the kit, and those seem to be OOP at the moment. I looked for them at Eduard's website and they don't seem to have made newer style "kabuki" masks yet.
Looks like I have to resort to Tamiya tape and a modeling knife?

Thanks in advance.


Edit: With the upcoming release of the weekend edition Lysander, do you think they might be releasing a mask set as well?

Sorry, there are no Eduard masks for the Lizzie (yet).

I did Gavia's Lysander a couple of years ago. As far as I remember masking with Tamiya tape was quite easy.

That' show it looked like, thanks for the confirmation.
Let's see if they decide to release a mask set as well with the weekend edition kit.
IWhile I'm at it, I'll go and post a suggestion to their feedback forums.

Hi,

I used Tamiya masking tape when I masked my Lissie canopy, but it was not the Gavia boxed kit.
