1:32 Messerschmitt 262 A1-A2

Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1/A-2 — marking masks (1:32, 1 Man Army)

This is a set of accurate adhesive masks, not an aircraft model. The masks make it possible to spray the markings instead of using decals on the German Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1/A-2 jet fighter in 1:32 scale — crosses, symbols, tactical numbers and the small technical legends (stencils). Sprayed markings have no decal carrier film, follow the surface and the rivets perfectly and cannot dry to a silvery sheen (silvering). The masks suit Me 262 kits in 1:32 scale from several manufacturers.

The real subject

The Me 262 Schwalbe was the first operationally used jet fighter in the world. The pair of Junkers Jumo engines under the wings and the characteristic swept outline make it an icon of the close of the Second World War. The A-1 version was a fighter, the A-2 a fighter-bomber.

Use

• The surface of the model must be smooth, clean and degreased; place the mask according to the enclosed guide.
• Spray the paint with an airbrush in thin coats, so that it does not creep under the edge of the mask.
• Let it flash off and take the mask away carefully; fine stencils call for a sharp point and patience.
• Lay light markings on a dark base over an opaque white undercoat first.

Who the set is for

For modelers in 1:32 scale who prefer sprayed markings to decals and want a perfect result that blends into the surface. It assumes experience with an airbrush and with masking.

The accessory is supplied without paints. The model, paints and decals are not included in the package.
