About product

The Fortress in two forms

The designation in the name brings together two versions of the famous four engine bomber that stood side by side on the same airfields. The older of them left the first line gradually, the newer one replaced it piece by piece, so both could be met at once in one formation. The sheet is therefore conceived so as to suit a modeler regardless of which of the two forms he happens to have built.

Why both versions at once

The differences between them lay in defensive armament and in details of the glazing, but the fuselage, the fin and the areas the markings were applied to stayed practically unchanged. That is exactly why it made sense to release printing for both together. For a build that yields a practical point: before you start applying them, compare the form of your kit with a photograph of the machine you want to build from the period, because the details of the nose are what decide which variant a model belongs to.

The water you use

For decals it is better to reach for distilled water. Tap water holds calcium salts and after drying it leaves whitish tidemarks around a motif that are hard to remove from matte varnish. If they do appear, carefully wiping with a damp cloth before the area has dried out completely will help. Torn printing can be saved as well; it is enough to lay both parts side by side and cover the join with the final varnish.

Contents of the delivery

The package consists of a printed sheet for 1:48 size. A plastic model, glue and paints are not part of it.

FAQ

Both main combat forms are given in the name at once. The areas the markings are applied to differ practically not at all between them.

Distilled is best. Tap water leaves calcium tidemarks behind, which are clearly visible on a matte surface and hard to remove.

Lay both parts as close together as possible, let them dry and cover the join with a final layer of varnish. On a finished model it then disappears.

It is not. This is a printed sheet on its own; the plastic model of the bomber and modeling chemicals have to be obtained separately.
