Painting Instructions

1. Prepare Base Camouflage: Paint and completely dry your aircraft's multi-tone camouflage scheme first. The low-vis design allows this underlying camouflage to show through the center of the cross.
2. Apply & Burnish Mask: Align the single-layer stencil on the model. Firmly burnish the edges to prevent paint bleed.
3. Select Your Color: Spray the stencil openings.
   • White Outlines: The most common late-war standard for fuselages and upper wings.
   • Black Outlines: Frequently used on light-colored undersides or late-war green/brown schemes.
4. Remove Mask: Carefully peel the mask away while the paint is slightly tacky to achieve a razor-sharp edge.

➡️ We include transfer tape with each set! Transfer tape helps accurately transfer and position masks or decals onto the model's surface, maintaining alignment and design integrity while protecting the mask adhesive. Look for two 3"x6" pieces of transfer tape included with your masks. How to Apply Main Markings Using Transfer Tape

👉 Choose Your Material

Each paint mask set is available in your choice of easy-to-apply Oramask 810 flexible vinyl or genuine Tamiya tape.

What's better - vinyl or Tamiya tape? Both work great! Choose vinyl if you plan to use your masks right away and Tamiya tape if you're tackling your project later on. Check out our FAQ for more info!
