A 1:48 masking set for the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 of the MARKING type serves for spraying the markings instead of using decals. It is an accessory to a kit, not a model.
Responsibility details are not available.
Unlike ordinary masking sets, which deal with the canopy glazing, masks of the MARKING type are intended for spraying the markings and insignia directly in paint. The modeler applies them to a finished painted surface, sprays over them and, once they are removed, a sharply bounded marking is left with no decal carrier film. The set is an accessory to the plastic Fw 190 D-9 kit in 1:48 scale, which it does not contain, and it is cut for the MiniArt 48040 kit.
The Fw 190 D-9 was a late version of the German fighter of the Second World War in which the designers replaced the radial engine with a liquid-cooled Junkers Jumo 213 V engine. The change called for a lengthened nose with an annular radiator and a longer tail, hence the long-nose nickname. The machine entered service at the end of the war and is one of the most frequently built modeling subjects of that period.
Spraying the insignia has one great advantage over decals: there is no glossy film on the surface that would have to be polished out once dry. The procedure: the surface under the mask must be smooth and perfectly cured, otherwise the mask will pull the paint off when it is removed. Lay the mask along a reference line that you mark out beforehand with a pencil or thin tape, because once it is stuck down you will not move it. Apply the paint very thinly and in two passes; a heavy coat will create pronounced ridges at the edges of the insignia. Spray multicolored markings in layers according to the enclosed diagram and let the paint become tacky between layers. Take the mask off shortly after it has dried and check the edges against the light.
The set is an accessory to a plastic kit, which it does not contain. Paints, glue and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
