Nice, Tom.   

 

Roundels are tricky, but  looks like you did a great job, despite your "wonky" description. I assume you had challenges aligning the masks for the  different colors? If so, I found that using see-through parchment paper under most of the transfer tape to initially align the circles helps greatly.

Did you mean to have two different letter "L"s? The horizontal portions are different lengths.

I traced a decal sheet from AZ Models (?) which indicated different widths for the L, so I just went with that.

Great looking Canadian Mustang. I have also had trouble with serials. How did the Artool masking material work?

I still haven't had a chance to use the Artool masks, so I don't have anything to report yet.

Yes, the squadron codes (9G-L)turned out very well, but I had difficulty applying the roundels, even though the cutter did a good job with them.  As I said, the smaller serial numbers (HB 876) I was not able to cut with the Tamiya masking paper, which was all I had to hand. I will try such small letters again with Artool masking, but I haven't had a chance yet.

Glad I found this site!  I'm on the very beginning of the learning curve with a Cameo 4, and pretty pumped at the modelling possibilities. Looking forward to the sharing of files and getting some tips from the more experienced of you. I've uploaded a file of paint masks I've used on my 1/72 Academy Mustang, and hope to share more as I make them.
