Supplement to MiloMinder Miss Virginia svg

By GeneK in Aircraft - Military

This file is a rescanned and simplified version of "Miss Virginia" lettering. Additionally, this file includes both the left and right fuselage side lettering since they differed in style.

Gene K

As an aside: I scanned the Tamiya decal sheet, traced using Silhouette Studio, simplified the trace nodes, and converted the resulting studio file file to svg using
http://www.ideas-r-us-software.uk/FileConverters/SilhouetteStudioConverter.aspx .The latest version of Silhouette Studio has a much improved trace function.

And yes, the lettering is likely too small to reliably cut masks using the current Silhouette machines ... BUT, the forthcoming new machines (Portrait 3, Curio 2, and Cameo 5 )will have an optional Static Electricity Technology mat that MAY work with small lettering/numbers. BUT the additional $100 COST MAY BE A DEAL BREAKER to many.

Belly Strap for 1_32 Tamiya Phantom for Posting.studio3

By GeneK in Non-Mask Cutting Files

Belly Strap for 1_32 Tamiya Phantom for Posting.studio3:

I made this belly reinforcing Strap for an outstanding modeller (Anthony) in New Zealand who is doing a spectacular conversion of the Tamiya 1/32 F-4 to a British FG.1 here. My source material from the Internet included photos, tech diagrams, AfterMarket sets, and model kits. I cut the strap using .010" plastic in my Silhouette Cameo 4. The straps are tailored to the Tamiya 1/32 kit, so would need modification to fit other kits' panel lines and wheel wells.

Also attached is an svg file for use with other cutting machines.

Canopy Mask for FineMolds 1/72 Short Nose Phantoms

By GeneK in Canopy Masks

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.

Canopy Masks for 1/72 Hasegawa F-4

By GeneK in Canopy Masks

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.

The FineMolds kits are the best 1/72 Phantoms on the market.

F-4B Tamiya 1/48 Canopy Mask

By GeneK in Canopy Masks

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.
