Custom paint mask help

Hi All,

I'm currently building the Tamiya P51 and Trumpeter P47, I want to use paint masks for the markings but can't find what I want from what is readily available from the likes of Montex. Can anyone recommend a company that will produce custom paint masks?

Thanks in advance for he help

Hey Matt, I don't know someone tha will produce them but I may be able to help you create them if you have something to work from now? I bought the Maketar blank mask sheet, put it in the inkjet printer with the paper side up(becomes the printed side), printed a scanned cooy of the decals I wanted on it and then cut them out. It makes them in a mirrored image since you've printed on the back side of the mask, left is right and viceversa.

Thank you so much for the offer of help it's very much appreciated. But I think the method you described is maybe something I could try and may just solve my problem! Did you get the blank mask sheets from maketar?

Thanks again

How long ago was this though? I have just recently read on here that Maketar are not responding to any emails or phone calls. Im still looking for decals or masks in 1/24 scale  - RAF lettering as used on the Spitfire Mk Vb.

As far as Im aware, Makatar is no longer taking custom mask orders.  AFAIK, they should still be in business, and taking orders for their general sets.  I could be wrong, but that was the last word I heard.

I can't find their stuff in stock anywhere it seems, and their website is "doing maintenance."

 

I need to purchase their Corsair masks and I'm striking out. Suggestions? How are Montex masks?
