Hi.

I'm looking to build a 1/32 ki-44 in these markings.



Since they looked relatively simple with a lot of straight lines and circles I thought I'd give making home made masks a shot. I'm kind of at a lost as to what material to use to make the mask. Masking tape, frisket film, etc.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I use frisket as I find it produces a cleaner edge.

Wing roundels and tail markings:





or roof markings on this boat



Works very well for me.

Cheers
Joe
