1:72 S.Spitfire Mk.Vb - Camouflage painting masks scheme "A"

Masking masks Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb, scheme A (1:72, AML)

A set of self-adhesive spraying masks from the Czech maker AML, intended to reproduce the upper-surface camouflage pattern on a model of the Spitfire Mk.Vb in 1:72 scale. The masks define the dividing lines between the individual colors of the so-called scheme A exactly, so laborious drawing and measuring directly on the model falls away.

The real subject

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.V was the most widespread variant of this British fighter and the mainstay type of the RAF in the period from 1941 to 1942. The Vb version with its Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and a wing with mixed armament of cannon and machine guns served in most theaters. Scheme A is one of the two mirror-image standard camouflage schemes of the RAF, which alternated on the upper surfaces of production machines.

Use

• Apply the masks over a base coat that has dried properly and press the edges down carefully, so that paint does not run under the film.
• Spray the contrasting shade with an airbrush in coats; take the mask off while the paint is still fresh.
• It is worth adding your own kabuki tape when masking the transitions and the small details.

Who the set is for

• Modelers who want a sharp and symmetrical camouflage scheme without drawing it by hand.
• Builders of RAF fighters of the Second World War in 1:72 scale.

This is a masking aid, not a model or paints. Paints, glue and the model are not included in the package.
