1:72 Vickers Wellington Mk.I

AML camouflage masks Vickers Wellington Mk.I 1:72

A set of self-adhesive spray masks from the manufacturer AML intended for cleanly spraying the camouflage scheme of a model of the British Vickers Wellington Mk.I bomber in 1:72 scale. The masks set out the shapes of the segmented camouflage pattern on the upper surfaces, so you reach an accurate and repeatable camouflage without drawing it by hand.

What the masks are for

The segmented British scheme of the early war years is hard to keep to when sprayed freehand. Pre-shaped templates transfer the boundaries of the color fields onto the model exactly; you spray according to the plan and get the typically sharp transitions of period camouflage. The pattern is worked out for the shapes of a particular kit.

Usage tips

• Spray the lighter color of the scheme first, as the base.
• Stick the masks on according to the plan and press the edges down against creeping paint.
• Apply the darker shade in thin coats.
• Remove the masks once dry and the transition stays sharp.

Who the set is for

• Builders of British bombers of the Second World War.
• Modelers who want an accurate segmented scheme without drawing it out.
• Those who build in the display scale of 1:72.

This is an accessory to a model, not the kit itself. Paints and glue are not included in the package.
