About product

Omask masks for RAF national insignia on the Tempest Mk.V in 1:48

This item from Omask differs in purpose from ordinary canopy masks: it is meant for spraying British national insignia onto a model of the Hawker Tempest Mk.V in 1:48 scale. A sprayed roundel is usually crisper and, above all, follows the shape of the airframe perfectly, which tells especially on a wing with a leading edge or in places where a decal would have to be coaxed into shape. The package contains neither plastic nor paints; it assumes you already have the model under way.

The real subject

The Tempest Mk.V was the peak of the development line that led from the Hurricane through the Typhoon to an aircraft with a thin elliptical wing. It was powered by the mighty Napier Sabre H-24 engine and at low altitude the Tempest was among the fastest piston fighters of the late war. It became famous above all for catching V-1 flying bombs and for attacks on ground targets over northwestern Europe, where its speed and the fixed armament in the wing both told.

How to spray national insignia

Work from the lightest ring toward the darker ones and let the surface dry thoroughly between the individual colors. Lay a covering ground under the white and yellow elements, otherwise the dark camouflage underneath will print through into the shade. Circular insignia call for a light pressure and a perpendicular stream so that paint does not creep under the edge of the mask.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who prefer sprayed markings to decals
  • Builders of British fighters of the late war
  • Anyone after crisp transitions on curved surfaces
  • More experienced modelers working with multi-color insignia

FAQ

According to the name it is meant for the national insignia. Masks for the glazing are separate items on aircraft of this type.

A sprayed marking has no carrier film, does not lift over rivets and can be blended with the surrounding camouflage during the final weathering.

Usually you work from the lighter elements to the darker ones and allow thorough drying between the coats. White and yellow need a covering ground.

It is not. This is only a masking set for painting; the Tempest model is obtained separately.
