Omask 1:48 Gotha Go 242B, masks for national insignia and code letters is a set of self-adhesive masks that make it possible to spray the insignia and codes onto a model instead of transferring them with a decal. The accessory is aimed at the ICM 48225 kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a masking set, not a kit. It contains self-adhesive masks cut to the shape of the national insignia and the code letters for a model of the Gotha Go 242B transport glider in 1:48 scale. With it the insignia are applied to the model in paint, so no carrier film and no visible decal edge appear on the surface. The masks are cut to measure for the parts of the particular ICM 48225 kit, so before you buy, check that you are building exactly that one.
The Gotha Go 242 is a transport glider with a high wing, a load-carrying fuselage and tail surfaces carried on a twin-boom layout. Its large flat areas of fuselage and wing mean large national insignia in 1:48 scale, and that is exactly where decals most often fail. A large decal is harder to seat, on a matte base it tends to silver and its edge is often still visible after a clear coat. Spraying through a mask gets round that problem, as the insignia is part of the paint layer and the surface stays uniform.
Let the base cure thoroughly, because fresh paint will come away with the mask. Seat the mask precisely and press the edges down carefully with a fingernail or a toothpick so that paint cannot creep under them. Spray the paint in several very thin coats and from a perpendicular direction rather than at an angle under the edge of the mask. A heavy coat creates a step once the mask is removed, which then has to be sanded down. Remove the mask as soon as the paint has set, not after it has fully cured, and peel it slowly back on itself rather than straight up. With multi-part masks work layer by layer and let the paint dry between them. At the end even the whole surface out with the clear coat of your choice.
This is a masking set for a model, not a kit. The model, paints and clear coats are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
