About product

Kyushu J7W Shinden 1:48 - national insignia masks

A set of die-cut masks for the national insignia of a Shinden model in 1:48 scale. These are not canopy masks: with this set the circular insignia are not applied as decals but sprayed directly with paint through a template.

Why spray instead of using a decal

A decal is always a thin layer of paint carried on a transparent film. That film has an edge, and however thin it may be, on a matte or rougher surface air is trapped under it and the insignia begins to silver around its perimeter. A sprayed insignia has no film, so it lies directly on the surface of the airframe and behaves exactly like the paint around it: equally matte, equally receptive to a wash and to pigment, and indistinguishable even when held against the light. You notice the practical benefit mainly where an insignia runs across a panel line, riveting or the curve of a leading edge, because a decal lifts in such a place and calls for a softener.

How to proceed

Spray the insignia only onto a finished, well-cured top color. Seat the mask and press it down around its perimeter, so that no gap is left anywhere. Lay the paint on in several very thin coats, perpendicular to the surface; a heavy coat creeps under the edge sooner than three weak ones. Lift the mask off shortly after it has dried and repair any small overrun with a brush, while the paint is still fresh.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the Shinden in 1:48 scale.
  • Modelers who want insignia with no visible decal edge.
  • Those who weather a model heavily and would find a decal in the way.
  • Builds with a matte or textured airframe surface.

FAQ

They are not. This set deals with the national insignia on the airframe; the canopy glazing is masked with a different set.

It has no transparent carrier film, so it does not silver around its perimeter and behaves exactly like the paint around it both when matting and when weathering.

Onto a finished, well-cured top color. Lay the color of the insignia on in several thin coats, otherwise it creeps under the edge of the mask.
