Hello

Today something that has been on our minds for a long time, but was constantly being put off until later. For several years now we have been selling several sets of decals and masks dedicated to Polish F-16s.

Among them the most popular are the Krzesiny Tigers and one of the Ravens "4047" with the letters WX.

In both cases the mask sets were twins to the decal sets, and in the case of the Tiger it was an auxiliary set, not containing the decals, which have been sold out for about a year. These mask sets were one of our first. Back then we had a slightly different philosophy in their design, but we also did not have the experience we have today and, above all, we did not have our own plotter, which greatly complicated the production process.

Today the situation is different and we decided to tidy it up a bit, refresh it and in the process we created another set.

This month the set of decals for the tiger in scales 1/72 and 1/48 will be available again.

At the same time, the mask set will be heavily modified with added decals for markings and the tiger's head, which will make it not a supplementary set, but an alternative to decals. Still available in three scales.

We will redesign the masks themselves so that they can be used both as negatives and positives.

You complained (and rightly so) that the light color has to be applied to the dark one, which makes painting a bit more difficult, now you will have a choice of how you want to use the masks. We will do the same with the mask set for the Raven.

But that's not the end, because redesigning the decals for the Raven prompted us, somewhat incidentally, to make a set for the second Raven - "QH"

The set will be available as masks, we do not plan to make decals.

We also want to release sets of masks in 1/32 scale dedicated to the first schemes prepared for Tiger Meet 2013 in 1/72 and 1/48 scales as masks. Basically, the idea has been accepted, and the elements are simple enough that even reduced to 1/72 they will not cause problems in applying masks.

For all these sets you need to buy a set of operational inscriptions, which we also have for sale in scales 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32.

That's all for today.
