hese mask sets are cut
from yellow Kabuki
tape and are in my view
pretty essential for models with
canopies. As I am hopeless at
cutting my own masks so any
help is gratefully received.1/72 SCALE

Out of these sets, the masks for
the new ICM Heinkel He 111 is
the standout set, as getting the
canopy frames perfect is essential
with so much glazing drawing the
eye of the most casual viewer.

his month we have new
sets from AccsGB, and
they have chosen to
produce two sets for the very
nice S&M Models Canberra. The
first set details the interior and
includes parts for both the B.2
and T.4 variant. Also included
are seat belts and more detail
parts for the rear compartment.
The second set supplies
details for the external airframe
and adds a lot of detail to the
undercarriage and their bays.
The engines get new fan blades,
plus there are a number of stick-
on panels and access doors.1/72 SCALE

I said when I reviewed this
company’s first set for the Bristol
Sycamore that they look like
early Eduard sets, especially the
design of the instructions.
Looking at Hannants’ web site,
these are just two of the five sets
that this company has released
to detail the S&M Canberra.

his new company
from Kailua, Hawaii
has sent us another
of their new products.
Many kits come with the
wingtip navigation light
moulded as part of the wing,
without a separate clear lens.
This new product supplies
pre-cut blocks of clear acrylic
plastic in blue, red, green and
clear. These blocks have been cut
into small triangles so all you
have to do is remove the position
light or landing light for the
wing and then attach the correct
coloured acrylic into place with
superglue or thin cement.
Once it has firmly attached
you can sand it to the wingshape and buff it up with nail
polishers to produce a perfect
wing tip cover. PM also suggests
that you can drill a hole into the
inner surface of the triangle
of acrylic and fill it with silver
paint to represent the light bulb.NO SCALE
PMAV-001 100 Wing Tip Lights.CONCLUSION
This set delivered one of those
”Why has no one done this
before?” moments; so simple,
so effective, and so easy to do.
I am also intrigued, because in
a corner of the instructions it
says to keep the acrylic
frames for use in the
company’s navigation
light template kit. I do
hope we get a sample,
as navigation lights
are something I have
struggled to reproduce
well for many years.
My thanks to
Pacific Monograph for
supplying this new
product for review!ACCESSORIES
