I has surfing in the net, and I came across this name: 1 Man Army and I went to their website – www.1manarmy.be.

As you can see, all their catalog are in 1:32 and they are expending their references with more and more masks.

I became quite curious because I really don’t like the looks of decals in 1:32 scale and 1ManArmy mask are mainly stencils, for what I could see

I haven`t heard anything from this brand before, so I couldn`t resist in get one of their mask.

I chose the Spitfire because it can be use for the Revell Mk II and for the future Kotare Models Mk. I.

Let`s see what you can get with this set mask.

You get two mask sheets, similar wit Tamiya tape, but its not really the same as the color is darker and the tape itself is thinner. I unglue part of it from the paper and its very malleable with good glue.. I detached several times and the glue was still in very good shape.

 

 

 

 

 

These two sheets give the modeler a full set of British roundels (for wings undersurface, wing upper surface and fuselage both sides) and all the stencils, all the little ones. So goodbye silvering and tiny little decals.!! Of course that all the places to put the stencilas are very well indicated for all sides of the aircraft.

 

 

 

 

 

Also you get the markings set for two Spitfire Mk.II:

-      “RN N” from Squadron n.º 72 1941;

-      Douglas Bader Tangmere 1941;

 

 

 

 

To handle the best way possible, a user manual is given and its very comprehensive. It’s a really nice touch from 1ManArmy.

 

 

 

 

 

CONCLUSION:

I love this mask set. I really do because in 1:32, the decals tend to be very big (roundels) and all the stencils are present with small decals, that could ruin your work with the silvering or not settle well into the part.

So with this mask set, beside a full set of stencils mask, two markings sets, one especially for Douglas Bader Spitfire.

Its cheap? well no, but you can use it several times and I know that I will use it at least two times so putting that way, its not expensive.

 

Very highly recommended
