JEaton. How do you make your masks?

Post by scorpiomikey »

John. I just stumbled across your spitfire camouflage masks on the interwebs. How did you make them? Id love to know your process.

Yeah me too! I saw them on your site when looking for ideas for my Secret Santa build.

I'll put together a post on it in the next few days. The camouflage masks are not too hard, but one of the stumbling blocks is that often the kit drawings don't "work", there is no way to reconcile the top view with the side view. On most British aircraft I can find the MOD drawings and the Spitfire and Hurricane masks are based on those. I think the Tempest masks are too.

Looking through old posts and see that I need to follow up on this. Soon, I hope. :whistle:

Thanks John.
No rush. The lancaster is a few kits away yet.
