About product

1:144 Balkenkreuz (late type, black and white), a Mark I decal sheet

A sheet of modeling decals from the Czech brand Mark I in 1:144 scale. It is not a model; it is an accessory that needs a kit of its own. It holds a set of German national crosses of the Balkenkreuz type, that is bar (straight) crosses with which the aircraft and equipment of the German armed forces were marked during the Second World War. Factually it is a national insignia in its period form, with no further context.

The real subject and why a separate sheet

The late, black and white type is a particular variant of the insignia. In the later phase of the war the crosses were simplified: the solid black core was often left out and only a white (or thin) outline of four arms remained, so that the insignia would be less conspicuous. Kits do usually have crosses on their own sheet, but they tend to be in the wrong size or of the wrong type, or they are easily damaged. A separate sheet gives the right type in several sizes at once, which goes a long way across several models and lets you choose the period-accurate form for a particular machine. In 1:144 scale the models are small, and the exact size of the insignia shows there especially clearly.

Use

  • Choose the right size of cross according to the type and period of the machine you are building.
  • Prepare the area under the decal with a gloss varnish, so that the film adheres well.
  • On the curves of the fuselage and the wings, apply a decal softener that pulls the decal down to the surface.
  • Seal the finished markings with a clear varnish.

Who it is for

  • Modelers of German aircraft of the Second World War in 1:144 scale.
  • Those who want a period-accurate type of cross in several sizes for several models.
  • As a replacement for damaged or inaccurate crosses from the box.

Decals are not a model. They require a kit of their own in 1:144 scale, and the varnish and the decal softener are not included in the package.
