Masking sheets for the five-color lozenge covering pattern in 1:48 scale. The package consists of eight sheets, which make it possible to spray the whole polygonal grid straight onto the covering of the model instead of applying a printed film.
Responsibility details are not available.
The patterned covering material called lozenge was introduced by the German air service in the First World War as a factory substitute for hand-painted camouflage. The fabric was printed with a continuous grid of irregular polygons, and the five-color variant was used on the upper surfaces, where it was meant to break up the outline of the machine seen from above. It is carried by the Fokker D.VII, by late-batch Albatros machines and by a number of two-seaters.
This set has eight sheets and a grid in five shades. The sheets are laid on the covering section by section, oversprayed and lifted off, so the resulting pattern is made of paint and not of a printed film.
The difference shows precisely in 1:48 scale. One polygon here measures barely five millimeters, while the rib tapes on the wing stand out only by a few tenths. A continuous decal film laid over the whole area floods that fine relief and flattens the wing. A sprayed grid, by contrast, sits beneath the surface of the paint and the fabric texture stays legible.
Count on the work being slow: the five-color variant calls for five rounds of laying down and lifting off, between which the paint has to cure every time. The reward is a covering that stands up to a close look and to macro photography. The package is intended for painting the covering and contains neither a model nor paints.
