Lothar 1,565 Posted August 20 (edited) I need help with custom made paints masks. I have a started 1/32 Hasegawa Ki-84 Prototype which I've converted to a regular version - the parts are in the kit so that was no big deal. However, I do only have the kit markings for the prototype and I would like to finish her in these markings: I've enlarged the decal sheet from this 48scale kit by 150% to get a templat to cut my own masks. But, I miserably failed with the tail number "69" - I don't have a cutter, I work carpenter style from Tamiya tape and very sharp blade, so understandably I cannot handle curves. Any idea where to find someone to do the "69" mask (see No. 9): Any hint or help would be highly appreciated. Lothar Edited August 20 by Lothar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BloorwestSiR 11,387 Posted August 20 I had DN Models make some custom masks for me. Drop them a line and see if they can help you out. Carl 1 Lothar reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1to1scale 3,129 Posted August 20 Have you checked with Montex? I used their masks for painting mine, see link in my signature. Check Maketar also, they made some custom masks for my cougar a year ago. However, you may have to provide them with a broken down drawing, most companies will not re-create other companies artwork. 1 Lothar reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fanes 895 Posted August 20 Lothar - shoot me a PM - maybe my Silhouette plotter together with some Oramask can come to help Joachim 1 1 Lothar and Out2gtcha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mozart 6,667 Posted August 20 If Joachim can't help, I can Lothar......and I'm in your debt!! The only slight problem is that I'm away for the whole of September "down under", so if you're in a hurry it would have to be in the next week and a bit. 1 1 Out2gtcha and Lothar reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Out2gtcha 30,162 Posted August 20 Yes, my friend, I'm also in your debt, so if none of the above work out, give me a shout. Im sure Im set up just like, or very similarly to Joachim and Max. 1 1 mozart and Lothar reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themongoose 1,515 Posted August 20 Lothar if you don’t have luck with precut masks consider trying a “french curve” for cutting it out by hand. It’s like doing one of those connect the dots pictures from when we were kids :-) 1 Lothar reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
