Turned out great

I used 72 scale and a 48 scale insignia masks on my 72 scale b-17. Its so nice to have the control of how much pigment you want to apply to this instead of having a gleaming clean decal. So worth it!!!

Thanks Marty - this is awesome to feedback! Very clever to mix scales for the perfect lookโ€ฆ that control over the finish is exactly what itโ€™s all about!

This set is excellent! Using the tamiya tape version, I got really sharp lines and actually enjoyed the process more than decaling. With decals, you have a limited amount of time to get the position right. With these masks, you can relax and position them just right before painting. I am a fan!

Thank you, Scott - this is so great to hear. That relaxed positioning time is everything. ๐Ÿ™Œ Sharp lines and a stress-free process is exactly what weโ€™re aiming for. So glad youโ€™re a fan - thanks for taking the time to share this!
