Clear Prop! has released two accessory sets to coincide with their lovely new 1/48 scale H75N Hawk.

CPA48004 - H75N Hawk Painting Mask

The first upgrade is a set of die-cut, self-adhesive masks for the canopy.

Some of Clear Prop!'s kits have included masks, but they have been made from a white vinyl material.

These masks are made from the thin and very flexible yellow Kabuki material, the same as used on Eduard's masks. This is a definite improvement.

Clear Prop!'s canopy masks represent a fast and accurate solution for a time consuming and often disliked modelling task.

Clear Prop! has also released a replacement exhaust.

Apart from the crisp detail (the clamps look brilliant), I think the main benefit of the new exhausts is that they are hollowed out at the ends.

Casting quality is perfect.

A replacement panel at the front of the fuselage, which doubles as the mount for the engine, is also included in this set.

Instructions are included.

These are two simple upgrades that will add detail to the exhaust and make painting the canopy easier too.

Thanks to Clear Prop! for the sample
