About product

M26 illumination flares in 1:72 scale

Brengun works on small accessories that give a model credibility in details an ordinary kit does not contain. This item covers the underwing illumination flares designated M26 in 1:72 scale, and according to the name there are two pieces in the package. They find a use under the wings or the fuselage of a finished model, or in a ramp scene among other equipment.

The real subject

M26 is the designation of an American aerial illumination flare dropped from an aircraft, used to light up the area beneath the airplane during night flights. Structurally it is a slender cylindrical body hung on ordinary racks, so on a model it behaves much like a drop tank or a bomb. What makes it interesting for a modeler is that it appears on night and reconnaissance missions, that is where the configuration of the aircraft differs from the standard daytime one.

Building and painting tips

The parts are slim and break easily, so separate them with a sharp knife over a cutting surface and work with tweezers. Sand the surfaces, degrease them and spray them with a primer. Use cyanoacrylate glue to join them; ordinary polystyrene cement will not hold here. Illumination flares are usually painted simply, with a crisp division between the color bands; it is cleaner to mask the bands than to paint them with a brush. At the end a very light wash is enough to bring out the beading and the suspension lugs.

Who the set is for

  • For builders of aircraft models in 1:72 scale
  • For modelers building a machine in a night or reconnaissance configuration
  • For dioramas with a scene of arming and preparing an aircraft
  • For collectors of accessories for American aircraft

FAQ

According to the name, two pieces of the M26 illumination flare in 1:72 scale.

Models that carried stores of this type, typically in a night or reconnaissance configuration. It is always worth checking suitability against period documentation for the particular machine.

Cyanoacrylate. Sand and degrease the surfaces first.

Masking with narrow tape gives the cleanest result. Brush painting on such a small diameter usually leaves uneven edges.

Pre-cut stencils for spraying the British Type A1 national insignia in 1:48 scale, that is the roundel supplemented with a narrow yellow outer border. In the package there are two insignia masks and nothing else; the glazing of the model is masked separately. The film holds the shape of the individual rings, so the colors are applied in layers and the resulting insignia is part of the sprayed finish, not a stuck-on film.
