Hey Kev, Thanks for the welcome, the site, and the help. No problem cutting the mask, the issue is the painting! Hey Max, I'm in 1/48. I hadn't considered removing and placing the second mask down, but that might work better than placing a mask over the top of another, especially for the finer details. Yes, that's correct I'm using a low tack transfer mask (it is probably lower tack than the Oramask, but it works with a bit of persuasion, and most importantly keeps everything straight). And yes, the thin black edging- I have had good success with the bigger white and black components, but the finer edging is proving elusive. I weed prior to applying the transfer vinyl. Is it possible to use one mask, apply to the model, then weed while it's on the model and replace the little bits of mask? I moved up to 1/48 from 1/72 because I figured I'd make better use of the Cameo and get some practise in before going back down in scale. I probably need to experiment a little more. I appreciate the advice, thank you. Best, Lime

Hey there, I have a Cameo 4. I've made some masks to, what I believe to be, the correct size for the lower wing balkenkreuz on a Fw190. The process I'm using is green goes down first, spray white, then put the blue mask over the top of that. I am having difficulty getting the outer border. To scale, the slits end up being 0.593mm wide. I have made them in the fashion one of the manufacturers sell them. The questions I am left with are: a) Is 0.593mm too much of an ask for the machine, or even my own placement ability? b) Is there a better process? For instance- black first, then white? c) Should I restrict the white to the area I wish to actually paint white, rather than the blanket approach used with the commercial masks? Any and all help appreciated. Thanks, Lime.
