![]() ![]() At present there are 13 different sets available with the view to extend the range to 25 by the end of the year. The sets are produced out of Belgium by a company called 1 Man Army and have been in development for the past two years. That’s not to say decals won’t give you a great result, because most of the time they will, but imagine if there was a way to actually spray on your stencils just like the real thing! Well now there is. So, masking your insignias and ID codes was always an option, but trying to cut and mask all of the tiny stencils seen over an aircraft was simply out of the question, and as modellers we would need to refer back to plan B and use the decals. Essentially, if you try and cut too fine the blade will chew up your film and leave you with an unusable mess. Trouble with cutting masks through a traditional plotter and using self-adhesive vinyl is there is a limit to how fine and small you can cut due to limitations with the film and the actual cutting mechanism. I personally have had a great deal to do with self-adhesive films and masking materials due to my line of work, and I regularly setup and cut myself masks to use on my own models. It makes sense right ? The actual markings on the real thing were painted, so why no replicate that on your model. It’s no secret that when possible, masking and spraying your markings is always going to give you a superior finish to using decals. The ability to directly paint the aircraft stencils is a bit of a game changer and will no doubt cause quite a stir amongst the 32nd scale aircraft modelling fraternity. ![]() Whilst I am no expert on the finer points of the accuracy of the sets, they do appear to my eye to be quite comprehensive and very well made. Each contains large die-cut self-adhesive masking sheet and detailed instructions.Īvailable online from 1 Man Army's website and distributors worldwide ![]()
