About product

Early versions of the Zero, hinomaru with a white outline in 1:72

A set of Dead Design masks for spraying national insignia with a white outline onto a model of the Mitsubishi A6M1, A6M2 or A6M3 in 1:72 scale. The white ring came into use at the moment when darker camouflage began to swallow the red disc and the insignia needed setting off from the base.

The real subject

The A6M became known as a machine with an extraordinary range and agility, for which it paid with a very light structure without armor and without protected tanks. The A6M1 was the prototype with a different propeller, the A6M2 the production carrier fighter of the first year of the war and the A6M3 the version with a clipped wing and a supercharged engine. The differences between them lie mainly in the outline of the wing and in the cowling, but the placing of the national insignia stayed similar.

The procedure for spraying two colors

A two-color insignia is done in two goes and what matters most is the registration. First spray the white ring and the inside of the disc, let it dry out thoroughly and only then mask for the red. The white needs more coats than you would expect, but each of them has to be thin. Before you reach for the red, check the position against the light, because once it has dried a shift can no longer be put right other than by spraying the whole spot again.

Suitable for

  • Models of the Zero in the later finish with a set-off insignia
  • Modelers who dare to try two-color masking
  • Builds of the A6M2 as well as the version with a clipped wing
  • Collections of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service in 1:72

FAQ

The white first, over the whole area of the future insignia; once it has dried out it is masked over and the red goes into the middle. The opposite order would call for covering white over red, which hardly ever works.

Yes, the name covers the A6M1 to the A6M3. The clipped wingtips on the newer version change the outline of the surface, but the position of the insignia stays comparable.

The surest way is to mask the surroundings, spray the whole insignia over with camouflage and start again. Touching it up with a brush tends to show in the result.
