Mitsubishi A6M2b national insignia masks without a white outline in 1:48 scale from Dead Design replace decals - instead of being applied, the insignia is sprayed straight into the paint of the model.
Responsibility details are not available.
A Dead Design masking set intended for spraying the national markings of the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M2b carrier fighter. It is not a kit and not a set of canopy masks: the templates serve strictly for painting the national insignia. This item is the form without a white outline, that is the single-color variant of the insignia.
A sprayed insignia is part of the paint layer, not a film stuck onto the surface. It has no carrier film, so no glossy outline arises around it and the insignia does not silver even on a less smooth or matte base. That also removes the usual procedure of a gloss varnish under a decal followed by matting the whole model. A modeler appreciates the same advantage when weathering: a sprayed insignia can be sanded through, chipped or gone over with a filter just like the camouflage around it, because there is no extra layer beneath it.
Because this variant is without a white outline, it is sprayed in a single color and there is no alignment of coats to deal with. On multi-color insignia, where a light outline is laid under or around the main color, the templates are applied one after another and every further coat has to seat exactly on the one before; otherwise the outline widens on one side and disappears on the other. Here that step falls away and the work is noticeably quicker.
Spray the insignia only onto dry and unified camouflage. Press the mask down all the way around, so that paint cannot flow under the edge, and lay on several very thin coats; a heavy coat creates a step you can feel around the insignia. Lift the template off as soon as the paint has set, with tweezers and at a shallow angle, so that the layer beneath it is not raised.
