Landrover-35-scale.studio3
By MikeC in Vehicles - AFVs & Military
In a rare departure for me, I'm doing a 1/35 scale Landrover Series 3: it's a slightly out-of-scale accessory to go with a 1/32 scale aeroplane, of course.
This set assumes that, like me, you paint the wheel centre, then mask that and paint the tyre. There are masks for five wheels (four plus the spare on the bonnet) and a spare pair. The central circle is to allow for mounting on a cocktail stick for painting.
Sized for the Italeri 1/35 scale kit (kit no 6508, Landrover Series 3, LWB). It is equally applicable to civilian vehicles, or course, but as I'm doing a military one it's in here.
Feedback welcome.

Italeri32-wing-gloves.studio3
By MikeC in Specific Aircraft
The 1/32 scale Italeri Tornado kits (at time of submission IDS, ECR and GR4 boxings) have a wing glove in a vinyl-like material to protect the slot the wings sweep back into. It occurred to me while building my GR4 that this would need masking for painting, so I knocked up these masks. The top one is for part 4J (port), under that 3J (starboard).
NB: I have tested these against the wing glove parts, but have not tested them yet on the assembled model. When I have I'll update them if need be.

Codes-RAF
By MikeC in Aircraft - Military
I saw a thread on LSP recently, in which the OP described the difficulties with installing certain fonts, which are recognised by MS WOrd and other software, but not picked up by the Silhouette Studio software. The process the poster described was basically the one I used: Type up the lettering you want in MS Word, scan it in, and manipulate it until you have your codes in your studio 3 file.
What a bother! But there is no way round it. However, the thread reminded me that I had created this file, but not uploaded it here. SO better late than never, here it is.
It contains all the letters and numerals in two of the most common font styles used by RAF aircraft. You can use them for squadron codes, serial numbers, or whatever you choose. Just copy and past the characters you require into your own Studio 3 file, size them and arrange them to suit your subject, and off you go. Applicable to all scales - although the smallest I've managed to cut are the 4" characters that the RN use for serials in 1/32 scale.
Hope this is useful.

TM-Windscreen-324872.studio3
By MikeC in Canopy Masks
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.

Meteor-Roundels-Walkways.studio3
By MikeC in Aircraft - Military
Type C1 Roundels and walkways sized for 1/32 HKM Meteor. Sized for an A5 sheet of masking material.
Please Note: As at 9th August 2021 I offer no guarantee or warranty that this is the correct size simply because I have been unable to cut it yet due to problems with my Portrait 3: as soon as I'm able to I will try it myself and update the file if and as necessary.
