Czech Splinter #7701 – Camouflage Paint Masks for MiG-21, V.2, 1/48th
Re-usable die-cut camo mask set
The set includes two sheets of masks (shown in the picture). The masks are made from thin masking tape, which is easy to be peeled off and doesn’t leave any stains. The tape is tested on clear and painted model too. If carefully removed after painting, they can be used over and over again. Material is flexible and easily applied over curved surfaces. Semi-transparent for easy and accurate placing.

Suggested kits:
Eduard 1/48 MiG-21 – any MiG-21MF version.
The original Czech Splinter project by DN Models was based on Eduard 48th scale MiG-21MF kit. Various modifications can be used: MiG-21M, MF and -21bis. In real life, -21MF was the specific version that was used for Czech Splinter #7701. Because of that, Eduard MiG-21MF will give you the best results when using this set. However, other manufacturer’s MiG-21s can be used as well. The mask set will fit most of those in 48th scale. This is the second version of the Czech Splinter released by DN Models. V.2 is with improved accuracy and additional spots. Therefore, the more accurate the kit you use for it – the better the results.

Colors
for this project are not specified in the sources that we used for designing the set. Because of that, you should pick your own colors that will match the reference photos. Be sure to use your best judgement when gathering the pictures and choosing the proper paints and colors. Because of the complexity of the scheme, patience and devotion is required in order to complete this project accurately. Due to the numerous spots, the project might take some time for completion. Therefore, attention is required when applying each spot and on the right position.
Usually, when painting a model is accepted to start off with the lighter color. Because of the complexity of the scheme, starting with whichever color is acceptable in this case. Since there are few layers of paints to be applied, thin layers are advisable. That way, the masks won’t show that there were layers applied and all will look like a single paint scheme. Because of the specifics of some acrylics, we advise you to test before you apply on the aircraft.
Mask set features all the spots and the insignia of MiG-21 #7701 Czech Splinter. In addition to that, fuel tanks spots and extra spots are included in the V.2 set.
Additional masking might be needed. Rearrangements of the spots is possible. Refer to pictures of the real aircraft.
Mask with caution!
