About product

The real subject

The Aichi D3A1 Val was a Japanese carrier-borne dive bomber with fixed landing gear and a crew of two, committed in the first years of the war in the Pacific. Its large lifting surfaces offer plenty of room for prominent national insignia, which draw a lot of attention on a model in 1:48 scale.

What the set contains

Masks for spraying the Japanese national insignia in 1:48 scale, in the rendition without a white outline. The insignia therefore comes about not by applying a decal but by spraying paint through a mask. How many insignia and in what sizes the set contains is given in the manufacturer's instructions.

Building and painting tips

A sprayed insignia lies in one plane with the finish, so no glossy edge or silvering of the kind that can accompany a decal on a matte surface appears on it. The order of the steps matters more here than the paint itself.

  • Apply the mask only onto a dry, degreased base coat
  • Spray a light base under the red first, otherwise the shade will darken
  • Press the edges of the mask down so that paint does not run under it
  • Lift the mask as soon as the paint has dried, not after several days

Who it is for

It suits a modeler who wants the insignia sharp and without the visible film of a decal, and also anyone who plans to scuff and age the model, because a sprayed insignia takes sanding and local touching up better than a decal. This is an accessory to a model: the kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
