About product

A mask for the US national insignia of the Flying Fortress

A die-cut masking set from Omask for the Boeing B-17F bomber model in 1:48 scale. It serves to spray the US national insignia directly in paint, so the markings merge with the surface and do not create the glossy step a decal sometimes leaves behind. According to the name, this is the first part.

The Boeing B-17F in brief

The F version was the most numerous variant of the Flying Fortress before the chin turret arrived. It was powered by four Wright Cyclone radial engines and you can recognize it by the fully glazed round nose. Machines of this series carried the main weight of the daylight raids over occupied Europe in 1942 and 1943.

Spraying procedure

Let the base coat cure thoroughly, transfer the stencil with tweezers and press its edges down carefully with a blunt toothpick. Apply the paint in several thin coats at a right angle to the edge, otherwise bleed will show up under the mask. Remove it before the coat has dried completely, and do so slowly at a sharp angle. Around the edges of larger shapes it pays to go over them with a hard rubber squeegee so the film seats even in the engraving.

Who the set suits

  • builders of Allied Second World War bombers
  • modelers who prefer sprayed markings
  • anyone who wants sharp star edges without a layer of film
  • as an addition to larger projects in bigger scales
  • those whose decals have yellowed on older models

FAQ

The paint is part of the finish, so no thin step of film forms on the surface and the marking does not go dull even after clear coating. It does call for precise work with the mask.

The brand offers the insignia for this type split across several sheets. The exact breakdown of the contents does not follow from the name, so it is not stated here.

On a perfectly dry and smooth coat. On a fresh or heavily matte layer there is a risk that a piece of paint will come away when the mask is removed.
