The 1:35 Sherman – Dragon is a Quickwheel masking set for the road wheels. A sharp boundary lasts only when the paint does not run under the margin of the mask.
Responsibility details are not available.
It is an aid for painting wheels, not a kit. The set sets the boundary between the face of the wheel and the rubber tire and is cut for the kit from the Dragon company. Sets for the same vehicle prepared for the kits of other manufacturers exist side by side, so it is exactly the target kit that is the figure one chooses by.
A mask on its own will not guarantee a sharp boundary. What decides is how thin the paint is and how hard you drive it at the margin. Thin paint at higher pressure wicks under the edge and a bled rim arises under the mask, which cannot be put right other than by sanding. Work, therefore, with paint on the thicker side, at lower pressure, and build the shade up in several light passes. Lead the airbrush at a right angle to the face of the wheel, not at an angle from the side, because it is exactly a slanted stream that pushes the paint under the margin. Make the first pass so light that it only seals the edge of the mask, and only the further layers cover.
For modelers building the kit mentioned who paint with an airbrush and want their road wheels dealt with without corrections and sanding. The set can be used with a brush as well, only the paint has to be applied more thinly and with a stroke away from the mask.
Paints, thinners and the kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
