About product

The festive red Lightning in 1:48 scale

A set of cut painting masks for the lettering and insignia of the most famous anniversary P-38J. In the package there are two sheets of thin masking tape, which is semi-transparent, shapes well into curves and leaves no traces after peeling. The aircraft itself in this scale is obtained separately.

The five-thousandth Lightning

When the five-thousandth Lightning built came off the Californian production line in 1944, it was given an overall deep red finish instead of the usual camouflage and a giant jocular inscription on the lower surfaces of the wing. The machine toured a number of plants and air bases as a reminder of series production in full swing and to this day it is among the most photographed twin-boom aircraft of the Second World War.

Why such an inscription is sprayed

Large light lettering on a deep red is the hardest discipline for a decal: the carrier film gives itself away on a glossy finish, a strong softener can undercut the pigment and the sheet breaks over rows of rivets. The sprayed variant has a sharp edge, it follows the texture of the surface and it will take later weathering and a final varnish. If the first attempt does not come off, the area can be oversprayed and the masking repeated, which is not possible with a decal.

Who the set is worth it for

  • builders of the red anniversary machine according to period photographs
  • modelers who prefer sprayed marking
  • everyone who wants clear lettering without a visible edge
  • more experienced hands used to working with tweezers and a scalpel
  • collectors of memorial and anniversary colorings

FAQ

They cover the main lettering and national insignia of the anniversary machine. The small technical stencils remain on the decals from the kit.

Once the paint has dried, raise it with the tip of a scalpel and pull it away slowly at a sharp angle. A part taken off this way tends to be usable a second time.

The material is pliable and can be pressed into a curve as well. In heavily bulged places slight warming helps.
