Alfashark Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Is Maskol still a thing? Clear liquid latex in a bottle, slather it on then when it's dry, run your blade around the edge of the wheel and paint to your heart's content. When the paint dries, peel the Maskol off and you're done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana_Jones Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Didn't know that was a thing, cheers Was thinking of one of these, looks like a wheel stencil with a rubber inset to get the right fit https://www.bnamodelworld.com/military-vehicles-tanks-paint-masks-stencils-royal-models-rm358 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfashark Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 It's the shit for painting canopy framing on aircraft models - Let's you run a super fine line that's dead straight and then Boom! Peel it off and you'll be the envy of all the kitset Barry world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all. You can do it ! I hate painting tank tyres but practice makes perfect, or at least passable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousand Dollar Supercar Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Oooo.. I built a couple of model cars as a kid, and an aerosol of colour-matched paint came with my XJ-S.. But if I can't get around to working on my real car, what business do I have building a model of its V12 sibling? @fuel here's one for you: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/toys-models/models/cars-trucks/classic-cars/listing/4575944007 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CarolsHusband Posted February 25 Popular Post Share Posted February 25 My next mission... M32 ARV. I wanted one of these years ago but they weren't available. I scratch built one on a welded hull Sherman at the time, it'll be interesting to see how close I got it. Anyway, it's going to be Kiwi spec for Italy in 43/44. Stone & grey camo. It may not be historically accurate regarding specific units, but what hell ? Progress so far... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 A heap of those Bren gun carriers ended up as farm hacks down my ways. #sharn Here is part of my current pile of shame. I might dig out that LRDG truck and have a look… 6 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the remains of, I think, three at a farm clearing sale in Southland about sixteen years ago. Have seen a restored one being driven around at Edendale Crankup at least once also. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
