Responsibility details are not available.
A masking set in 1:48 scale from the Czech maker Armycast. The self-adhesive sheets carry machine-cut shapes of the national insignia of the Luftwaffe, the so-called Balkenkreuz, in its early form. The item is the second part of the line — the maker split the set into separately sold parts, so you can buy just the one you need for a model.
The Balkenkreuz was placed on Luftwaffe aircraft on the sides of the fuselage and on the upper and lower wing surfaces. The early rendering consists of a solid black cross with a broad white border all the way round. Because the shape of the insignia changed during the war, its correct variant is one of the main clues to placing a model in its period — and that is why the maker offers the early, middle and late versions separately.
The base has to be dry, smooth and degreased. Transfer the template with tweezers, press the edges down with a wooden stick and spray several very thin coats at right angles to the surface — paint creeps under when it is sprayed at an angle. With a two-color insignia you work in layers: the light area first, then the further pieces of the mask are added and the dark center is oversprayed. Lift the mask off soon after it has dried, pulling back over itself at a sharp angle. The resulting marking is part of the finish, so it does not silver, it follows the surface detail and it can be weathered and scuffed.
The package holds masking templates only. Paints, varnish and the model are not part of it.
