National insignia masks 1:72 A5M2b Early, Dead Design

A set of self-adhesive masks in 1:72 scale for spraying the Japanese national insignia onto the early version of the Mitsubishi A5M2b Claude carrier fighter. Instead of decals you simply spray the insignia; the round masks ensure the exact shape and the right placement on the wings and the fuselage.

Why spray the insignia rather than apply decals

A sprayed insignia has the same sheen and texture as the surrounding paint, and there is no risk of silvering of the base or of a visible edge to the decal's carrier film. It also sits perfectly on busy surfaces, where a decal adheres badly. The procedure is simple: the mask is laid on the finished base, the edges are pressed down, the insignia color is sprayed and once dry the mask is taken off. The result looks like that on a real aircraft, where the markings were likewise sprayed through stencils.

The real subject

The Mitsubishi A5M, Allied code designation Claude, was the first monoplane carrier fighter of the Imperial Japanese Navy and the predecessor of the A6M Zero type. The early machines of the A5M2b version were marked out by an enclosed cabin canopy and fixed landing gear in aerodynamic fairings.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want markings with no risk of decals silvering.
  • Builders aiming for a uniform surface over the whole model under the final clear coat.
  • Anyone who wants to try the period procedure of spraying insignia through stencils.

A modeling accessory: neither the aircraft kit nor paints are included in the package.

FAQ

A sprayed insignia has the same sheen and texture as the surrounding coat, does not silver and has no visible edges. It also sits better on busy surfaces.

First finish the camouflage; once it has dried, lay the masks on, press the edges down and spray the insignia color in thin coats. Take the masks off once dry.

No, ordinary modeling paints for an airbrush or a brush in the matching shade of the insignia are enough.
