About product

National insignia masks AH-1G and OV-10A 1:48

This Dead Design set does not deal with the cabin but with the national insignia. The templates are stuck onto the surface of the model and the insignia is sprayed in paint through them. The result is a part of the finish, not a decal laid on top, so it has no transparent carrier film, does not shine on a flat finish and has no edge that could be felt.

Two subjects, two different surfaces

The set covers the attack helicopter Bell AH-1G and the twin-boom observation aircraft Rockwell OV-10A Bronco. It is precisely with these that a sprayed insignia pays off the most. The fuselage of the Cobra is narrow and strongly rounded, and the booms and engine nacelles of the Bronco have an intricate surface on which a decal easily makes wrinkles, even if you soften it. Sprayed paint has no such problems, because it follows the shape perfectly.

How to go about it

Spray the insignia only onto a finished and dried base finish. Stick the template on, cover the surroundings with paper or tape and apply the paint in several very thin coats straight at the surface, so that it does not get under the edge. If the insignia lies on a dark base and is to contain a light shade, spray a covering white first and the target color only on top of it. Take the template off as soon as the paint is dry to the touch.

Who the set is for

  • modelers who do not manage to lay a decal on a rounded or intricate surface
  • builders of machines sprayed flat, where the carrier film of a decal shines
  • those interested in American equipment in 1:48 scale
  • everyone who wants markings that cannot be peeled off or scraped away

FAQ

They are not. This set serves for spraying the national insignia; the glazing of the cabin is dealt with by a different set.

A decal has a transparent carrier film, which shines on a flat finish, and on rounded surfaces it makes wrinkles. A sprayed insignia is a part of the finish.

Spray a covering white first and the target shade only on top of it. Otherwise the base shows through.

As soon as the paint is dry to the touch. Peel it off slowly and at an angle, not straight away from the surface.
