National insignia masks for the Aichi E13A (Jake) in 1:48 scale. The insignia is sprayed straight into the paint instead of a decal being applied.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of masks for spraying the Japanese national insignia. It has nothing to do with canopy masks; it is used only on finished camouflage, on the areas of the wings and fuselage.
A sprayed insignia against a decal
A decal is always one layer more: it has a carrier film, it needs a gloss base and on a textured surface it has to be softened. A sprayed insignia needs none of those stages. It merges with the finish, has the same degree of sheen and when weathering it behaves like the rest of the paint, so a wash into a panel line passes over it with no risk of lifting the edge of a film.
What to watch out for
Degrease the area before masking and check that the camouflage has cured. Press the mask down all the way around the circle with a blunt stick and spray perpendicularly and in thin coats, so that the paint does not creep under the edge. The coverage of red tends to be weak, so a light coat underneath pays off; otherwise the shade shifts on dark camouflage.
The Aichi E13A, Jake by Allied code, was a Japanese reconnaissance floatplane with a crew of three. It took off from the catapults of warships and from coastal bases and was among the most widespread Japanese seaplanes of its day.
