About product

The D3A2 with outlined insignia, masks 1:72

A Dead Design set for spraying national insignia complemented by a white ring onto a model of the Aichi D3A2 in 1:72 scale. The set-off insignia was used where dark upper surfaces swallowed the red on its own and the aircraft needed to be recognizable from a greater distance.

The real subject

The late Val carried a more powerful powerplant and a longer fuselage, thanks to which it kept usable performance even with a bomb load. The fixed landing gear with aerodynamic fairings stayed, however, and the speed fell noticeably short of the new types. The machines operated from island bases, where the change in Japanese markings caught up with them: the outline of the insignia was widened so that the aircraft would be recognizable against a green background and in poorer light as well.

How to achieve a clean ring

The width of the white ring is the only thing the eye judges on this insignia as either symmetrical or spoiled. Work in two goes, therefore, and line the second mask up by the whole perimeter, not by one point. It helps to give yourself an extra day after spraying the white area, because a well-cured coat will not lift during the next masking. If a narrow spot does appear, it is usually better to spray the whole insignia over with camouflage and start again than to even it up with a brush.

Who the set is useful for

  • Builders of late Vals in dark camouflage
  • Modelers who want a white ring of exactly the right width
  • Anyone interested in Japanese markings of the late phase of the war
  • Those preparing to weather the insignia further

FAQ

It raised the readability on a dark base and from a greater distance. On the light machines of the start of the war it made no sense, which is why it appeared only later.

Ideally a whole day. Insufficiently cured white lifts when the second mask is laid on and the edge will then not be sharp.

Yes, and that is exactly the advantage of spraying. The insignia is part of the paint layer, so it takes both a wash and light sanding of the edges.
