Re-usable die-cut camo mask set – All versions featured in #01F001 are included.
The set includes two sheet of masks (shown in the picture). The masks are made from thin masking tape, which is easy to be peeled off and doesn’t leave any stains. The tape is tested on clear and painted model too. If carefully removed after painting, they can be used over and over again. Material is flexible and easily applied over curved surfaces. Semi-transparent for easy and accurate placing.

The Yellow Tails paint mask set is designed to be used with any B-17 Flying Fortress 48th scale kit. The set was created using HK Models #01F001 kit. It is not a limitation though and the masks can be applied on any of the Flying Fortresses on the market today. The set itself is dedicated to /arguably/ the most colorful and vivid line of B-17 Flying Fortresses – the Yellow Tails of the Eighth Air Force – which were used throughout the war in tens, maybe even hundreds of variations. HK Models 32nd scale version of the Flying Fortress includes a version of a Yellow Tailed B-17, but here three different options are presented for their smaller scale option. Alongside with the B-17 Assembly Ship called Spotted Cow, this set give a interesting and alternative paint option for Boeing B-17 fans.

The B-17 Flying Fortress kits available on the market today are many, but the newest addition to the line is HK Models #01F001 – 1/48 B-17G Early version Flying Fortress. This was the kit used for the design of Yellow Tails mask set. The set includes three of the most famous Yellow Tails B-17 aircraft. Those are “Fuddy Duddy”, “Chuckie” and “D-Day Doll”. HK Models representation of the B-17 is quite accurate, which makes the Yellow Tails insignia and markings usable with other quarter scale models of the Flying Fortress. The set does not include the nose art of the aircraft. Decals should be used for that, since masking is not doable for nose art replication.
