Thank you Iain - I'm still looking for the split stencil font, but these will be super useful for future use anyway PS Sorry for the late acknowledgement - no excuse, just me being crap!

Hi, welcome aboard.

Picked up some of the Cricut TF as well on recommendation from Max but haven’t tried it yet. Cheers George

Kind of- I switched to Cricut tranfer tape and it seems to work a bit better. Still looking for a perfect solution, I find it still needs a lot of TLC to get it to work right.

Thanks, Max! Kev

Thankyou so much for providing your files. They are great!! Exactly what I needed!

Great!!!!!!

I have recently uploaded the marking masks for the Airscale Hawker Typhoon which is due for release in the New Year. The chosen schemes are a) for 183 Squadron R8884, a very early production Tiffy, portrayed in its distinctive markings worn during Exercise Spartan and b) JP843 of 197 Squadron. Both are car-door variants but differ slightly in several areas. The masks include wheel centres on both as are wing walkways. R8884 had a broad stripe running from just aft of the spinner, terminating forward of the cockpit so masks for this are provided. On JP843 there are masks for the black and white ID stripes painted under the wings, 12 and 24 inch in width on the real thing. QR codes will be on the box which link to these masks. When available and designed I’ll be uploading the masks for the canopy. Max

Anyone sitting on the fence about getting into doing your own masks, Amazon has the Portrait 4 for $129 today in the US for Black Friday. https://www.amazon.com/Silhouette-Portrait-Software-Electric-Compatible/dp/B0CHY9CY3Y/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3CXI31AN4M88G&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HXgBJjs-uqWdI6hPh0icUaJ9re48T8Zf_S0anWK_yEMOqvArKcsCIR3ruZwDr7n3OLOK_MoRJyXKNWRhYB3uNS2kKD8H_3kOpy2FBSts8ZlSJnLJqUWxN9M6QKGV63__rUbmkvl1W0r499ufbsuN28QwtsMhe3bZYrwdR4LrXibQGLfPMfAbNnaQYMMzrdkP43fpZ27irfYA4-gVRbkrkcJEFi8LudmtqrVeeQTxDX6eyAwGHsPJVbwFYPDcQjpPv5ZB6BXyDbURbYdLxmVnz5fYnbTjeYvyPHB2eMBE9HU.OUBs-5nm_8sGacJDGZnGwvajr0VmsEaEg-eFwGwI2-M&dib_tag=se&keywords=silhouette%2Bportrait%2B4&qid=1764323924&sprefix=%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

P-47 Tamiya wheel well mask For masking the main landing wheel wells is they are to be painted after airframe painting. File Information Submitter craig b Submitted 11/27/2025 Category Specific Aircraft View File

For masking if your choosing to paint main landing gear wheel wells after the airframe is painted. Could also be used if you wanted to cut foam blocks and install them to hide the painted wheel wells. Will work with either Bubbletop or Razorback versions of Tamiya's kit

Welcome aboard, Mark! I use a Mac also, so you're not alone. Kev

Hi Everyone, Mark here, have just joined the. community. Have been modelling for most of. my life, and using commercial masks for the last several years and hoping to extend into a more extensive use of them. As I have a Brother cutter and use a Mac rather than PC (although I have Parallels, so can run Windows software as well) I'm in a minority here. Still learning how to use the cutter at the moment. Have a great day everyone.

MeneMene, did you ever get your issue resolved? Cheers, George

Thanks Dave. Had also received this recommendation from John at Hawaiian Air Depot Cheers George

I just looked at Craft Cutter Supply where I had purchased some 810 several years ago and they only list 813 now. What I have been using is ArTool Ultramask. It is very similar to 810. I've been purchasing the 9" x 6.5' rolls from Midwest Airbrush. Artool Ultra Mask Professional Masking Film — Midwest Airbrush Supply Co Dave

Having a heck of a time finding 810 anywhere in US? Any reliable sources? Cheers, George
