Grunhertz Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Just waiting on some masks from a friend of mine who is doing them custom. It's quite cheap to make the masks but for the artwork and instructions it costs him every time he releases them so he has to sell a lot to make it worthwhile. So as a favour I'm being patient 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunhertz Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 I've used Sean's masks on loads of projects. I have real issues with using blu tack I can't get it to stick to the surface. The masks work well for me as you can see 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Cammo looks great but I'm wondering if it is possible to soften up the edge a bit with the masks? Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Hi Peter yes you can but the important thing to remember is that they only had a soft edge after a trip to a MU the masks were originally mats laid on the surface then sprayed so the soft edge didn't usually appear. They do on restored aircraft of warbirds however. If you want a soft edge a small piece if blu tack or tamiya tape under the edge does the trick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunhertz Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Ok after 3 weeks of filling, sanding, filling, rescribing then learning how to use a riveting tool. It was the primed the refilled sanded and reprimed, and reriveted again it's ready for paint. It's only a pre shade and the leading edge strips but it's moving again. I want to have it done for Telford this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
