Propeller spinner spiral masks – an even pattern without freehand painting

This set contains masks for reproducing the spiral on the propeller spinner by spraying rather than painting by hand. The masks are die-cut from yellow Kabuki masking paper and shaped to the spinner, giving the spiral even, repeatable edges.

The masks are applied over a painted, cured spinner, the edges are pressed down and the paint is airbrushed, then removed once dry.

About the aircraft – Focke-Wulf Fw 190D:

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190D, commonly called the Dora, was a high-altitude version of the Fw 190 fighter. In place of the BMW 801 radial it used a liquid-cooled Junkers Jumo 213 inline engine with a distinctive annular radiator at the front, which made the nose look radial-engined. The fuselage was lengthened with a plug ahead of the tail fin to keep the balance.

The Fw 190D-9 entered service in the autumn of 1944 and offered better performance at higher altitudes than earlier A versions. It was used against bombers, in fighter combat and to cover Me 262 jets during take-off and landing. The Dora bridged the classic Fw 190 and the further-developed Ta 152. About 700 examples were built.
