Thanks for looking in guys........ there is something to be said for out of the box building!!!!!!
So as it goes, the continuing saga.
I went back the the LHS to get what I thought would be the solution, new mask kit from MONTEX! WTF!
Are all of the Montex masks like these? I hope not but I am surely going to avoid them like the plague.
I've spent too much money on masks and Gas to get me to the LHS.
So, if you have a Hasegawa P-38F/G/H kit, don't bother with this mask set, they just don't fit!!!!!!! Am I clear on this?
Proof. First photo is kinda hard to see, so I cut out a detail, inverted the color and added a red line just outside the glass shape of the kit canopy. BTW the side glass mask pieces don't fit all that well either. I will have to trim the bottom triangle. I haven't gotten to the top and back glass yet.
I just wanted to save some time of doing the masking by hand.
For all the driving to and from my LHS I could have done them with strips of Washi tape and a hole punch for the round corners.
So I'm gonna get myself a good stiff drink!!!!
