This product belongs to the category of laser-cut modeling masks that have been specially developed to facilitate painting and perfectly replicate both the interior and exterior of the cockpit glazing, ensuring the highest quality of model detailing.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eTechnical description and application\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    TFace masks from Eduard are made from thin, durable, and flexible vinyl film that adheres perfectly to surfaces, allowing for clean, bleed-free masking of the cockpit glazing edges, both inside and outside. As a result, the modeler gains full control over replicating the frame structure of the glazing, which greatly enhances the quality and realism of the finished model—especially important in the case of the broad and exposed U-2S cockpit.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eBrief historical overview of the U-2S\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The U-2S is a modern version of the legendary U-2 American reconnaissance aircraft used by the United States Air Force (USAF) from the Cold War era to the present day. It was used for, among other things, conducting strategic reconnaissance at altitudes inaccessible to enemy fighters and air defense systems. Since the late 1950s, the U-2 has participated in numerous intelligence missions during global political crises.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/48\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIntended for: Hobby Boss U-2S plastic model\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOriginal user country: United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeriod of use: Cold War, modern times\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMask material: vinyl film\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApplication: cockpit glazing masking (TFace – interior and exterior sides)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: laser-cut modeling masks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommendation and difficulty level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Eduard EX1059 TFace set is recommended for both intermediate and advanced modelers who expect a high level of detail finish in the U-2S reconnaissance aircraft model.
