  2. I've been working on a pair of ICM Tiger Moths, and in common with many ICM kits, there is a mask template in the instructions which was easily used to produce these masks.  I thought that as we have recent kits of this from Airfix in both 1/48 and 1/72, I'd include these by downscaling the 1/32 masks as detailed in a note on the file.  There is also a separate set of drawings off the cutting area: these are there as an indicator of which mask is which, they correspond to the ICM instructions, thus they are not guaranteed to be the same size as the final masks on the cutting area.
     
    I am in the process of masking up the ICM windscreens, and the fit is OK so far.  I have not yet tried the smaller masks on a kit.  I have a pair of 48th examples in the stash, and will update the file if necessary when I've built them.  If you try the smaller-scale masks, please PM me with any feedback, particularly if the sizes are significantly incorrect.
     
    Thank you.

  3. After a little nudge from Mike C., I've tweaked my rather indifferent first attempts at canopy masks for the Fisher Hunter T7.  It's not an easy mask designing project due a) to the shape of the canopies b) the not too good definition on my canopy between glass and metal framing and c) a slight inconsistency in size for the canopy sections ie left and right of the main canopy and matching sections of the front.  So using these masks comes with a caveat:  they fit well but not perfectly so on the front ones especially you will need a fresh blade in your scalpel to make small adjustments!  Nonetheless, I hope they are useful to those fortunate to have this Fisher conversion.

  4. The small ring masks are to go around the brakes on the inside of the main wheels, then apply a complete disk over the top to complete the masking job.
     
    The large circle is for the compressor face.

  7. Fine Molds currently produces 1/72 long nose (F-4E, F-4EJ, RF-4EJ) as well as short nose (F-4C, F-4J) Phantom kits (with hopefully more variants coming). As concerns canopies, the short nose variants have a longer windscreen as illustrated here , and FineMolds have commendably noted and molded separate clear sprues. 
     
    I have previously posted FM long nose masks here.
     
    I have added an SVG file for use in other cutters such as the Cricut ... or to cut manually.

  8. Silhouette Studio Canopy Masks for ALL 1/72 Hasegawa "new" Phantom kits released in 1990 and after. Hasegawa does not differentiate between long nose or short nose windscreens as do the new FineMolds kits (the long nose Phantoms have shorter windscreens than the short nose Phantoms).
     
    An SVG file is included for use with other cutters like the Cricut ... or for manual cutting.

  9. Canopy Masks for the 1/72 FineMolds Long Nose Phantoms (F-4E, F-4EJ, et al). Cut settings on my Cameo 4 using Oramask 810 are: Depth 2, Force 13, Passes 1, Speed 5; and for the cut-through-the-backing border are: Depth 5, Force 15, Passes 2, Speed 5.
     
    The FineMolds kits are the best 1/72 Phantoms on the market.

  10. Included in the Tamiya 1/48 F-4B kit is a printed canopy mask sheet that requires cutting out the individual pieces. This file does that cutting for you.  Hand traced, and fits precisely. Cut settings are for Oramask 810 ... that also work with Tamiya tape.

  11. Hi all
    Made up some masks for the Dragon 1/32 Bf110. These should work on a C/D/E/F kit, and if you have a G kit, this will do from the armored windscreen all the way through to the Bordfünker position. The masks might need very minute adjustments to scale, check your fit first. Oramask or something like that is great for straight pieces, you'll probably need to cut on Kabuki for the curved pieces, Oramask tends to lift away quickly on concave or convex pieces.

  12. I cut this for my Italeri kit, but according to Scalemates all of the 72nd kits are the same tool.
    Detail note: the RAH 66 in museums today are seen to have the amber-gold radar absorbing coating on at least the two center panels of the canopy.

  13. Canopy, wheel, and intake splitter masks for the Revell 1:144 F-102A. This is the mold as used by Arii, Otaki, and Entex. The canopy matches the kit part fairly well, but the frames look oversized for the scale to my eye. These were downscaled from 1:72 and adjusted to fit this kit.

  15. Two files here. The first is for the canopy sealant (that pink sealant clearly seen on Mig-31's). Also included in that file is the thin white outline on the front glazing.
    The second is the masking of the white sections on the main missiles (sorry, can't remember what they're called, I just know they can be tricky to mask!)
     
    Enjoy
