Backstory

Pilot Officer Eric Lock was one of the RAF’s leading young aces during the Battle of Britain, scoring more than 20 victories in 1940 while flying with No. 41 Squadron from Hornchurch. He is closely associated with his Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I N3162 “EB-G,” an aircraft that represents the intense summer fighting over southern England. Lock’s rapid rise and fearless reputation made him a morale-boosting figure at a critical moment in the war, before he was lost on operations the following year.

Application Tips and Additional Information

➡️ Spare practice masks included! Check out our Paint Mask Tutorials page for a step-by-step guide on how to use and apply our masks. 

➡️ We include transfer tape with your set! Transfer tape helps accurately transfer and position masks onto the model's surface, maintaining alignment and design integrity while protecting the mask adhesive. Look for two 3"x6" pieces of transfer tape included with your masks. Learn how to Apply Main Markings Using Transfer Tape

➡️ This set has been updated to use multi-layered masks to achieve accurate multi-color markings. While this approach uses more material, it simplifies alignment and makes application more straightforward and hassle-free. For a step-by-step guide on how to apply our multi-layered masks, check out our Multi-Color Mask Application Guide.

➡️ Some small stencil data and other tiny markings will need to be used from your kit’s decal sheet, as these details are too small to cut cleanly in either Tamiya tape or vinyl. Please refer to the product image for a clear breakdown of what’s included in this mask set.

🌟 Choose Your Material 🌟

This paint mask set is available in your choice of easy-to-apply Oramask 810 flexible vinyl or genuine Tamiya tape.

What's better - vinyl or Tamiya tape? Both work great! Choose vinyl if you plan to use your masks right away and Tamiya tape if you're tackling your project later on. Check out our FAQ for more info!
