Tom Doolie 4 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 View File 441 Squadron Mustang This is my first attempt at making my own masks with a Cameo 4. I cut them onto Tamiya masking sheet, which seemed to work OK. In the photos which show the results on the 1/72 Academy Mustang, the insignia and squadron codes were painted using the masks that I'd made with the cutter. I'm fairly pleased with the result, however the roundels are a little wonky. The smaller serial numbers are decals, as the cutter couldn't cope with that small size with the Tamiya tape. I have some Artool Hobby Mask that I may try in the future for such small lettering. Submitter Tom Doolie Submitted 02/13/2021 Category Specific Aircraft 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giorgos 4 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 It's possible to create so small mask for 1/72 scale with cutter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Doolie 4 Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 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. Regards, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
