1:35 ZICKZACK Complete set for a What If / 1946 Camo

ZICKZACK — complete set of painting masks 1:35 (Solid Scale)

A set of painting masks from the German manufacturer Solid Scale. It is not a kit and not decals, but an accessory for painting: you lay the masks onto a sprayed model and apply a second shade over them, which creates a sharply bounded camouflage pattern. The motif of this set is a zigzag, angular pattern in the style of the hypothetical schemes labeled 1946 or What If, that is designs that never reached production service. The dimensions of the pattern match large tracked vehicles in 1:35 scale.

Use

• Spray the model with the base shade and let it dry thoroughly, ideally overnight.
• Take the masks off the sheet and lay them onto the surface; on tracked vehicles work panel by panel, so that the pattern carries over the edges.
• Press the edges of the mask down, so that the paint does not bleed under the film.
• Spray the second shade at a right angle, in thin coats and preferably in two passes — a heavy coat raises the risk of bleeding.
• Take the mask off while the paint is freshly dry, not once it has fully cured.

Who the set is for

For modelers who want to achieve a regular geometric camouflage pattern on a model in 1:35 scale without masking by hand with tape. It will be appreciated above all by builders of hypothetical vehicles and by anyone bothered by blurred transitions when spraying freehand. The masks are made of a special low-tack film and will take repeated use, so they will last for several models.

Paints and glue are not included in the package. The model the pattern is applied to is sold separately.
