Eduard EX1108 Lysander Mk. I/III AIRFIX 1/48 – Paint Mask Set

Eduard EX1108 Lysander Mk. I/III AIRFIX 1/48 is a professional paint mask set designed for the Westland Lysander Mk.I/III plastic model kit in the popular 1/48 scale by Airfix. This tool has been created to make your work as easy and fast as possible during the precise painting of the detailed cockpit and wheels of this highly recognizable British aircraft from World War II. The Lysander was widely used by the Royal Air Force for observation and liaison missions and—most interesting for today’s modelers—for transporting SOE agents to occupied Europe, landing on improvised fields, often at night.

• Scale: 1/48 – ensures a perfect fit for the Airfix kit
• Operator country: United Kingdom (RAF)
• Historical period: World War II (main use: 1938–1945)
• Product category: painting masks for plastic model kit
• Set contents: complete mask set for all cockpit windows (front, side, rear, roof) as well as landing gear wheels (main and tailwheel)
• Material: self-adhesive masking foil, residue-free, easy to apply and remove

The Eduard EX1108 mask set has been specifically engineered for the geometric shapes of the Lysander’s windows, ensuring a tight fit and enabling precise reproduction of panel lines and framing. Thanks to high-quality foil, the mask remains flexible, minimizing the risk of paint bleeding whether you’re brushing or airbrushing. Solid protection for your kit’s finish is especially valued here, as the large glazed canopy is one of the Westland Lysander’s most distinctive and exposed features.

We recommend this product to both intermediate and experienced modelers seeking perfection in their kit’s final finish—the set allows for quick and stress-free masking, eliminating one of the most time-consuming steps in model building. Especially when painting variants depicting SOE operations, field landings, or World War II dioramas, using the EX1108 masks will provide an exceptional final effect and save valuable time.

Difficulty level: 1 (very easy; also recommended for beginner modelers who care about detail quality).

Eduard EX1108 is a must-have for every aviation modeling enthusiast who wants to faithfully recreate the most visually demanding element of the Westland Lysander. The ideal choice for history buffs, diorama builders, and anyone constructing World War II aircraft models.
