MH models 1:48, masks for spraying the national insignia of the Dornier Do 215B-4 in German as well as Hungarian service, cut for the ICM kit. The crosses are created directly in the finish, so no carrier film and no glossy rim are left on the model.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is neither a kit nor parts of the aircraft but a modeling accessory. The package contains pre-cut self-adhesive masks from MH models with which you spray the national insignia of German and Hungarian service onto a finished model of the Dornier Do 215B-4. The masks are stuck onto the painted surface, sprayed over with the color of the insignia and removed once it has dried.
The Do 215 came about as an export development of the Do 17Z type, from which it differed mainly in its inverted V12 Daimler-Benz engines. The B-4 version served mainly for long-range reconnaissance and carried photographic equipment in the fuselage; a smaller number of machines were also operated by the Hungarian Air Force.
A sprayed insignia has no carrier film, so no step and no silvering on a matte finish appear. The insignia can then safely be worked into the weathering, rubbed lightly or partly covered by camouflage, which with a decal always means a risk. On the large areas of the fuselage and wing crosses in 1:48 scale the difference from a decal is visible at first glance.
The surface must be smooth and perfectly dry; a mask holds best on gloss varnish, under which paint does not run. Transfer the mask with tweezers, press it down through a soft cloth and seal the edges once more with a thin coat of the base color, which will run into any gap and close the edge. Only then spray the color of the insignia, and do so in several light coats. Take the mask off shortly after it has dried, pulling at a slight angle rather than straight upward.
The masks are cut for the ICM kit in 1:48 scale, so check before you buy that they match the model you are building. Paints, varnishes and decals are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
