About product

Masks for RAF roundels of type A, A.1 and A.2, 1:48, Armycast

A die-cut self-adhesive masking set for spraying British aircraft roundels in 1:48 scale from the Czech maker Armycast. It holds the shapes for three variants of the early wartime insignia: type A, type A.1 and type A.2. The masks are stuck on a dry finish, the individual colors are sprayed in turn, and once the film is lifted off a sharply bounded insignia remains, without the carrier film a decal leaves behind.

The markings

Type A is the classic three-color roundel with a red center, a white ring and a blue outer circle, used from the interwar period and in the first years of the Second World War. Type A.1 adds a yellow outer circle to it, which set the insignia apart from the dark camouflage of the fuselage. Type A.2 is a variant with a narrower yellow circle, intended to make the insignia less conspicuous; it appeared among other places on machines delivered from American production.

Use and tips

The surface has to be smooth, degreased and perfectly dry, otherwise the paint will creep under the edge. Work from the lightest shade to the darkest and let it dry between coats. Spray thin coats at right angles to the surface, not at an angle under the edge of the mask. On a curved fuselage warm the film slightly so that it settles without wrinkles. Lift the film off while the finish is still fresh, which reduces the risk of tearing the edge.

Who the set is for

  • builders of British Second World War aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • modelers who want a flat sprayed finish instead of a decal
  • those who build machines from the early war period with the yellow surround to the roundel
  • more experienced modelers working with an airbrush

It is a masking accessory, not a model. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Type A is the three-color roundel in red, white and blue. Type A.1 has a yellow outer circle in addition, and type A.2 has this yellow circle narrower so that the insignia is less conspicuous.

No. These are self-adhesive die-cut masks; the insignia is sprayed in paint directly onto the model. The paints are not included in the package.

From the lightest shade to the darkest, with enough drying time between coats. Apply the coats thinly so that the paint does not creep under.

For interwar machines and the early period of the Second World War. From 1942 onward, roundels of type C and C.1 appear on the fuselages.
