About product

The set

The set holds pre-cut templates of letters and numerals of the American type in 1:48 scale. The characters are stuck on the model, oversprayed with paint, and once the mask is lifted off the marking stays painted rather than applied. The number at the end of the name tells the individual sheets within the line apart; the companion items carry different numbers.

Why spray instead of using decals

Sprayed characters have no carrier film, so no glossy outline appears on the surface, which is what often gives a decal away. The marking also behaves as part of the finish: it can be coated with varnish, toned and sanded along with the surrounding area, which comes in useful on aircraft with a scuffed and sun-faded surface. The result stands up to a close look and to a photograph of the model.

How to work with the masks

  • the base has to be smooth, clean and degreased; on a rough coat the mask will not settle
  • lay the characters out dry first and only then stick them on
  • press the edges down with a blunt tool, so that no paint runs under them
  • spray at right angles and in thin coats; a heavy coat makes a step at the edge
  • lift the mask off as soon as the paint is touch-dry, not after it has stood a long time

Who it is for

It will be appreciated by builders of American aircraft in 1:48 scale who are not happy with decals, and by modelers who need to make up a code or a serial number that no decal sheet holds. Working with templates is slower, but the result looks a class better.

FAQ

It tells the individual sheets within the line apart; the companion items carry different numbers. Check the size of the characters on this sheet with the maker, as it does not follow from the designation on its own.

A sprayed character has no carrier film, so no glossy outline appears around it. It can also be toned and sanded along with the surrounding paint, which is only possible to a limited degree with a decal.

Stick it on a smooth degreased surface, press the edges down with a blunt tool and spray at right angles in thin coats. Most paint creeps under when a heavy coat is sprayed at an angle.

Count on a single use. A mask that has been lifted off loses its adhesion and the precise seating of the edges on which the result depends.
