1:35 WWII German Tank Stenciling Template 1

Voyager 1:35 German WWII tank stenciling template 1

This product is a photo-etched brass template from Voyager Model in 1:35 scale - it is neither a kit nor a vehicle accessory, but an aid for painting. The thin photo-etched sheet holds cut-out tactical numbers and German crosses (Balkenkreuz) in period form, through which sharp, repeatable markings can be sprayed or brushed onto German armored vehicles.

What the mask is for

Sprayed markings look more convincing than a decal: they have no glossy film, they merge with the surface and they stand up to later dusting and washes. The template lets you produce tactical numbers and crosses exactly where they are needed and at a consistent size across all the vehicles of a unit.

Usage and painting tips

• Lay the template on a dry, cured base coat and hold it down so that the paint cannot bleed underneath.
• Apply the paint in thin coats, ideally with an airbrush at low pressure.
• Let the coats become tacky between passes and lift the template carefully while the coat is still fresh.
• The edges can be blended in with a light wash and dust pigments.

Who the mask is for

• For builders of German armored vehicles in 1:35 scale.
• For modelers who want sprayed markings instead of decals.
• For those building the vehicles of a single unit with consistent numbering.

This is a photo-etched template, not a model. The vehicle, paints and masking materials are not included in the package.
