Imperial Russia Roundels 1:72 is a set of self-adhesive masks for spraying the roundels of the Imperial Russian Air Service. It is an accessory for painting a model, not a kit and not decals.
Responsibility details are not available.
Cut self-adhesive masks from the Czech manufacturer Armycast for aircraft models in 1:72 scale. The set is intended for spraying the circular national insignia used by the Imperial Russian Air Service. The insignia is applied in paint through the mask straight onto the paintwork of the model, so no carrier film is left on the surface when it is finished and the edge is sharp.
The Imperial Russian Air Service took shape shortly before the First World War and its machines carried a circular roundel in the national colors, that is, in a combination of white, blue and red. These were concentric circles whose execution and size were in no way strictly unified — at a time when the flying units were only being built up, the markings differed by manufacturer, by repair shop and by unit. Check the exact arrangement of the colors and the proportions of the rings, therefore, against period photographs or a color profile of the machine you are building.
A circular insignia is rewarding from the point of view of masking: it has no sharp corners in which paint readily runs under. Even so, the basics hold — apply it to fully cured, smooth and degreased paintwork, press the edge down and spray thin coats straight down from above. On a multicolor roundel you work layer by layer: the outer circle is sprayed first, then it is masked and the color of the next ring is applied. Let the paint set between the steps. Roundels on the fabric covering of old aircraft tended to be irregular, so a small imperfection here does the look more good than harm.
The package holds masks only. The model, paints and glue are not part of it, unless stated otherwise.
