1:32 Luftwaffe wing walkway stencils

Luftwaffe wing walkway stencils – masks 1:32 (77propeller)

A set of self-adhesive masking templates from 77propeller for spraying the markings of walkway strips and no-step areas on the wings of German aircraft in 1:32 scale. These are not decals but an aid for the airbrush – the small stencils and lines that mark out where the ground crew may walk on the wing are sprayed directly in paint.

What the accessory is for

Walkway markings were part of the standard service fit of aircraft and on a model they give the surface an authentic period look. Sprayed markings have no glossy film and no edges like decals and follow the surface better. In the large 1:32 scale these details are clearly visible, so it is worth paying attention to them.

Use

• Let the surface cure perfectly before the masks are put on
• Reduce the tack of the mask before use so that it does not damage the paint
• Press the mask down carefully all the way round
• Take the mask off immediately after spraying and clean the area

Who it is for

For modelers of German aircraft in the large 1:32 scale who want to spray the service markings instead of using decals. It calls for experience with masking and an airbrush.

The set does not contain the model, paints or glue. It serves as an aid for spraying an existing model.
