The set includes five 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. It is flexible and easily applied over curved surfaces. Semitransparent for easy and accurate placing.

F-35A
Lightning II is the 5th Generation Fighter Jet made by Lockheed Martin Corp. in USA, designed to replace most of 4th generation fighters in NATO and other allied forces. F-35A is already widely in use around the World. Several hundred have been produced, including F-35A, F-35i, F-35C and F-35B. Japan and Italy are also participating in the manufacturing. The most widespread model is the A, which is a single-seat, single-engine stealth jet fighter with wide range of capabilities and planned service life up until 2070s. Many countries’ Air Forces are joining the F-35 program, with orders predominantly for the A model, but also the STOVL F-35B. The sole model that is planned to remain in US and not being exported is the F-35C, the carrier based variant of the jet.

DN Models’ set
is designed for Trumpeter’s 32nd scale release /#03231/ and any eventual derivatives of the A model. It compliments Canopy, Wheels and EOTS set for the same kit. This mask set features masks for the RAM Panels /Radiation Absorbent Material/ for #03231 and will not fit any other tooling. F-35 RAM Panels are a distinctive feature of the Stealth jet. Nevertheless, in real World on later models some of the panels are no longer painted with light gray paint & clear visible contrast, but with more subtle, darker shade. Nevertheless, F-35 RAM Panels are prominent feature on any scale replica, due to the fact that in scale they are exaggerated for enhanced perception. On the real jet, the panels are barely noticeable and almost blend with the surface, the color being their most visible difference.
