History

The Avro Anson was a highly adaptable aircraft in RAF service, initially used for coastal reconnaissance before becoming integral to the Commonwealth Air Training Plan during WWII. First flown in 1935, the Anson Mk.I had a distinctive twin-engine setup and glazed nose, presenting challenges for modellers aiming for clean paint lines on its extensive clear parts. Its dependable service earned it the affectionate nickname "Faithful Annie" among the many aircrew trained in its cockpit, and it remained in RAF service into the 1960s, marking it as one of the longest-serving British military aircraft. These masking sets use CAD technology directly from the original kit design files, ensuring each mask fits your model perfectly. The adhesive backing holds securely during painting yet removes cleanly without damaging underlying coats or clear plastic. Whether you're an experienced modeller seeking efficiency or a newcomer wanting professional results, this masking set transforms one of the most challenging aspects of model building into a straightforward process. Simply apply the masks to your assembled clear parts, paint your chosen colours, allow to dry thoroughly, and peel away to reveal crisp, accurate lines that would be extremely difficult to achieve by other methods. The precision-cut shapes account for every curve and angle of the Anson's complex glazing, giving your finished model the sharp definition it deserves.
