About product

The real subject

In 1943 the American national insignia was given side bars on both sides of the star, and it kept that form until 1947. The difference from the earlier round insignia is visible on a model at once, so placing the machine in the right period matters a great deal. A sprayed version moreover has a sharp edge without carrier film, which looks cleaner on a matte coat than a decal.

What the set contains

This is a masking set with the American national insignia from the period 1943 to 1947, in 1:48 scale. How many insignia the set carries, in which sizes and what material the mask is made of can be found from the manufacturer's information. The extent of the package is on the box and in the manufacturer's instructions.

Usage tips

Stick the mask onto a dry, smooth and degreased coat still before spraying. Apply the paint in several weak coats at a right angle to the surface, or it will run under the edge. The insignia has several color fields, so it is sprayed in stages with gradual uncovering. In what order is given in the manufacturer's instructions, because it depends on the version of the set.

  • the straight edges of the bars give away every part that is not stuck down, so press them along their whole length
  • let the paint really dry between coats, or the mask will press into it
  • peel the mask off slowly and at an angle over the edge while the paint is fresh
  • check the position of the insignia on the wing and the fuselage against the references for the particular machine
  • the finished insignia can be weakened with light wear, as a sharp new look tends to be the exception

Who it is for

The set is aimed at modelers in 1:48 scale who are building an American aircraft from the later part of the war or from the first postwar years. The procedure is simple; it just calls for careful pressing of the edges. The model, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.

In the shape of the insignia. The earlier period has the star alone in a round field, while this set corresponds to the later form with side bars.

You stick it onto a dry and degreased coat before spraying and peel it off while the paint is freshly dry. Peel slowly and at an angle over the edge.

Yes, provided they mask carefully. Most mistakes arise from an edge that is not stuck down and from a thick coat of paint applied all at once.
