Suggested kits - Designed using HK Models B-17G Early Production #01F001, and will be suitable for most B-17 Flying Fortress in 48th scale

SKU - 48/827-069

Re-usable die-cut camo mask set – All versions featured in #01F001 are included.
The set includes two sheets 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 The Spotted Cow paint mask set is designed to be used with any B-17 Flying Fortress 48th scale kit. It is designed using HK Models 1/48 B-17 tooling.
The mask set is dedicated to one of the many Assembly Ship aircraft, used to gather formations of many similar Flying Fortresses and send them on their mission.
Assembly ships were also called Judas Goats, due to the similar role that they represent.
Also called Formation ships, those were usually old aircraft lacking armament and often painted with bright colors and featuring additional lightning.
Several variations of Assembly Ships mask sets are available at DN Models website.

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 The Spotted Cow mask set. However, The Spotted Cow mask set is not specifically oriented toward any of those quarter scale B-17 releases. It is rather suitable for all of them, due to the specific pattern.
HK Models representation of the B-17 is quite accurate, which makes the Spotted Cow insignia and markings usable with other quarter scale applications.
