Armycast 1:72 — a masking set for Soviet Kremlin stars with a red and white edging, mid variant. Cut stencils for spraying the marking onto a model.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of masking stencils in 1:72 scale from Armycast for spraying aircraft markings. Instead of a decal you get a cut film: it is applied to finished paintwork, the star is sprayed in paint over it and the mask is removed. The marking is then part of the paintwork, it has no carrier layer and no visible edge, and it follows the relief of the skin faithfully. The item is an accessory for an aircraft model, not a stand-alone kit.
The name joins two things that the manufacturer distinguishes: the drawing of the Kremlin star, which it keeps separate from the ordinary red star, and the double edging made up of a white outline and a red line. The mid variant is a step in a range in which the early, mid and late patterns stand side by side. The division is a convention of the manufacturer, not dating — compare the shape and the size with the documentation for the machine you are building.
The order of the steps is the key. The paintwork has to be cured and smooth, the area degreased, the edges of the mask pressed down all the way around. A two-color edging comes about in two phases — the lighter shade, drying, masking over, the darker shade. Thin the paint and spray at right angles in thin coats; a heavy coat forms a ridge on the edge and spraying at an angle drives paint under the film. Take the mask off shortly after the paint has dried, not after several days, and use tweezers with a pull at a sharp angle. A matte varnish at the end unifies the gloss of the whole area.
This is a masking accessory, not a model. Paints, glue and a kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
