Dead Design Models is a range of aftermarket masking products for aircraft modellers. The line is almost entirely made up of painting masks and stencils, supplied as paper sheets that help with canopy framing, national insignia and control surface camouflage on a wide range of kits.
Most of the masks are made for 1/48 and 1/72, with a smaller group in 1/32 and a few 1/144 items. The subjects follow the modern and Second World War aircraft that are popular with kit builders, including the F-4, F-15, F-14 and F-104, along with the Japanese types A6M Zero, Ki-61 and Ki-43, and bombers such as the B-25 and B-26. Examples in the range include the Painting Canopy Mask for the F-8E Crusader, the Painting Mask for the A-10 Thunderbolt in 1/72, and the Painting Canopy Mask A-10C Thunderbolt II in and out for 1/48.
Many of the masks are designed to fit specific kits from Hasegawa, Kitty Hawk, Zimi Models, Academy and Valom, so it is worth checking the kit name in the product title before ordering. Browse the range below to find masks for your next build.
