DN Models 48-827-179 1/48 WWII German Henschel Hs 129 Desert Camouflage Paint Masks

Suggested scale: 1/48.
Suggested kits: Henschel Hs 129 kits in 1/48 scale; suitable for most kits on the market.
Contents: one sheet of pre-cut, reusable paint masks.
Made from thin, flexible, semi-transparent masking tape for accurate positioning over curved surfaces. The tape has been tested on clear and painted models, peels off easily and does not leave stains. Carefully removed masks can be reused after painting.

The Hs 129 was a German twin-engine ground-attack aircraft developed in the late 1930s. Its heavily armoured cockpit protected the pilot from ground fire. Later versions became specialised tank-busters, serving mainly on the Eastern Front and in North Africa during WWII.

Reproduces the North African desert scheme with irregular green spots over sand-yellow upper surfaces and light-blue undersides. Local conditions, field application and wartime paint stocks produced variations. Contemporary colour references are limited, so exact shades require research. Consult the kit instructions or reliable references for the aircraft being modelled.
