1:72 Luftwaffe Balkenkreuze Late NO. 1

Luftwaffe Balkenkreuze Late NO. 1: masks 1:72 (77propeller)

A set of self-adhesive masking stencils from 77propeller for spraying the late version of the German national crosses (Balkenkreuze) in 1:72 scale. These are not decals but an aid for the airbrush: the crosses are sprayed directly in paint, so the edges come out sharp and there is no glossy decal film. The set is universal and suits a wide range of German aircraft of the Second World War in this scale.

What the accessory is for

The late type of Balkenkreuz had narrower outline bars than the earlier solid crosses, and it is exactly that shape the stencils lay out faithfully. Sprayed markings follow the surface of the model better, they have no edges and no sheen, and they look more realistic than decals. The NO. 1 designation distinguishes the particular set of sizes and variants within the range.

Use

• Let the surface cure fully before the masks go on
• Reduce the tack of the mask before use so that it does not damage the paint
• Press the mask down carefully around its whole edge
• Remove the mask immediately after spraying and clean the area

Who it is for

For modelers of German aviation subjects in 1:72 scale who want to spray the national crosses instead of applying decals. It calls for experience with masking and the airbrush.

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