Hi everyone. I am going to be building Accurate Miniatures P-400 in Guadalacanal(sp?) camo. I need to know if the camo should have a hard or a soft edge.
Any ideas?

P-400s were all initially meant for leand lease to the UK, which means the standard dark earth and dark green camo applied with stencils.
The stencils gave a relatively sharp edge, but not a true hard edge.
the best way to replicate it is to use stencils yourself - either paper or blue-tac/silly putty.
