1:35 WWII German tank Stenciling Template 2

Voyager 1:35 WWII German tank stenciling template 2

This product is a photo-etched brass stencil from Voyager Model in 1:35 scale — it is not a kit or a vehicle accessory, but an aid for painting. It is the second part of the stencil series; the thin photo-etch carries cut-out tactical numbers and German crosses (Balkenkreuz), through which sharp, repeatable markings are applied with an airbrush or a brush to German armored vehicles.

What the stencil is for

The second stencil widens the range of markings and adds further styles and sizes to the first part. A sprayed marking has none of the glossy film of a decal, blends with the surface and takes subsequent washes and dusting. Across the vehicles of one unit you can thus create consistent, faithful numbering. The stencil is also reusable, so it will serve a whole series of models and pays off wherever you want the markings under control from start to finish.

Usage and painting tips

• Lay the stencil on a dried base coat and hold it down firmly against bleed-under.
• Spray thin coats, ideally with an airbrush at low pressure.
• Lift the stencil while the paint is still fresh, so that the edges stay sharp.
• Blend the marking in with a light wash and dust pigments.

Who the stencil is for

• For builders of German armored vehicles in 1:35 scale.
• For modelers who want sprayed markings instead of decals.
• For those who already have the first part and want a wider range of markings.

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