1:72 Camouflage Painting Mask Yak-130

SX-Art camouflage masking stencils for the Yak-130 in 1:72 scale

Self-adhesive stencils from the manufacturer SX-Art for spraying a camouflage pattern onto a model of the Yak-130 aircraft in 1:72 scale. The product is not a kit and not a set of parts but an aid to painting. The individual stencils bound the fields of the pattern, so a sharp and repeatable boundary arises between the colors that would be hard to keep to freehand or with tape, in this scale mainly on the wings and on the slender fuselage.

Which subject the set belongs to

The Yak-130 is a twin-engine subsonic aircraft intended for advanced pilot training and, in armed form, for light combat tasks as well. It has a tandem two-seat cockpit, a high-mounted wing with prominent leading-edge root extensions and side air intakes. Operators use various multicolored schemes with sharply bounded fields.

Use

• First spray the base color of the scheme and let it mature perfectly.
• Lay the stencils on according to the pattern, press them down over the whole area and seal the edges carefully.
• Cover the rest of the model with masking tape or film, so that overspray does not settle on it.
• Apply the second color with an airbrush in thin coats at a right angle to the surface.
• Once the paint has set, take the stencils off, check the edges and put right any running under with a brush.

Who the set is for

• Modelers who want a precise multicolored pattern even on a small model
• Builders who are bothered by irregular boundaries drawn freehand
• Airbrush users looking for a quicker procedure than trimming tape

The package contains the masking stencils alone. A model, paints and varnish are not part of it. The stencils are intended for single use.
