1:35 Paint Masks Set Israeli Achzarit APC IDF Stencils For Meng Model Hobby Boss Kits

The real subject

The Achzarit is an Israeli heavy armored personnel carrier built on the hulls of captured T-55 tanks. The turret was removed and in its place came a low armored compartment for a squad, which dismounts through the rear. The result is a machine with an unusually flat silhouette and exceptionally thick armor, because in the Israeli view a carrier has to survive where a tank goes. The surface is full of welds, add-on plates and handholds, so the markings have something to sit on and the modeler has something to accent.

What the set contains

Cut stencils for spraying Israeli unit markings in 1:35 scale, cut for the kits from Meng and Hobby Boss. Sprayed markings are created directly in the color of the surface, so they have no rim of carrier film and do not lift on a weld or on the edge of an add-on plate.

• Stencils for Israeli markings in 1:35 scale
• Cut for the Achzarit carrier
• Matched to the Meng and Hobby Boss kits
• The markings are created by spraying, not by a decal

Building and painting tips

Place the stencil on a perfectly dry base shade and press the edges down over the whole area, around welds bit by bit. Apply the paint in thin coats so that it does not creep under; the small markings really will take only a light pass. Remove the stencil as soon as the paint has flashed off. Israeli vehicles tend to be dusty, so feel free to knock the sprayed markings back with a light dusting, otherwise they will look too new on the vehicle.

Who it is for

For builders of modern Israeli vehicles in 1:35 scale. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
