Techmod 1:32 Lozenge (5 colours) is a sheet of decals with the five-color lozenge pattern, that is the printed camouflage fabric of German aircraft of the First World War, in 1:32.
Responsibility details are not available.
This sheet of waterslide decals from the Polish manufacturer Techmod reproduces the so-called lozenge, a regular pattern of diamonds and polygons that during the First World War was printed straight onto the covering fabric of German aircraft. This variant is in five colors. It is not a kit or a model: the decals are applied to the finished surfaces of the wings, fuselage and tail surfaces of a built model in 1:32 and take the place of laboriously painting the pattern by hand.
Instead of spraying camouflage onto a finished machine, the pattern was printed onto the balloon fabric with which the aircraft was covered. It was quicker and cheaper than sprayed camouflage and the result was the same on every machine. The pattern existed in several color sets, with the five-color and the four-color version differing in palette and in their use on the upper and lower surfaces. A decal reproduction is for a modeler practically the only workable way to capture the pattern faithfully in scale.
Paint the base with a gloss coat and let it dry completely. First trace the surface onto paper and cut the sheet to that template with a small margin. Apply large pieces one at a time, with plenty of water under the film so that they can be moved. Run the seams where they would also be on real fabric, that is along the ribs. Over projections and engraved lines use a decal softener and pierce the film with a pin so that the air can escape. Finally even the whole model out with a matte coat, as the fabric of aircraft of that time was not glossy.
This is a separate accessory. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
