About product

1:32 Gloster Gladiator Paint Mask, part four — spray stencils

The fourth part of a series of self-adhesive stencils intended for painting a model of the British Gloster Gladiator biplane in 1:32 scale. The product is a modeling accessory, not a kit, and it is not a set of canopy masks either. The stencils make it possible to spray the color markings directly onto the surface of the model. The set is designed for the ICM kit.

Removing the mask and finishing

The most delicate moment of the whole job comes after the spraying. Remove the mask while the paint is not yet fully dry, because a cured film tears along the edge and peels away with the tape. Pull slowly, back over itself at a sharp angle, not straight up. If a small ridge appears along the edge, level it with very fine abrasive paper or a polishing stick and go over the area with a thin coat of clear. When everything is done, unify the surface with a matte or satin clear coat so that the sprayed markings blend optically with the paint around them. Any small corrections can be touched in with a brush before the weathering starts.

The real subject

The Gloster Gladiator had a metal frame with mostly fabric covering, a fixed landing gear with spatted wheels and interplane struts with bracing wires. It is exactly this combination of shapes that makes the model in a large scale a rewarding object, but a demanding one as far as the finish is concerned.

Who the set is for

  • The modeler finishing a Gladiator in 1:32 scale
  • Anyone interested in sprayed markings without the glossy edge of a decal
  • Builders who care about a uniform final surface
  • Modelers used to working with masking techniques

The set is a painting accessory, not a kit. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

While the paint is not yet fully dry. A cured film tears along the edge and may peel away together with the tape.

Level it gently with very fine abrasive paper or a polishing stick and go over the area with a thin coat of clear. The unifying matte clear coat that follows will suppress the rest of the difference.
