Scribing and SPRAY MASKING Airbrush STENCIL NO. 6

Scribing and SPRAY MASKING Airbrush STENCIL NO. 6

A universal stencil from the maker 77propeller, from the Scribing and SPRAY MASKING Airbrush STENCIL range, serves the two things it has directly in its name: as a guide when scribing and as a mask when spraying with an airbrush. It is not cut for one particular model, so it can be used repeatedly and across subjects - on machinery, aircraft and figures alike. The range is numbered and the designation NO. 6 sets the individual sheets apart from each other.

Where the stencil finds use

• Masking areas and transitions when working with an airbrush.
• A guide for scribing, where a regular shape has to be held.
• Repeating patterns that are difficult to do freehand.
• Universal use with no tie to a single kit.

What to keep in mind while working

Lay the stencil on the surface so that it sits as closely as possible - the smaller the gap under the edge, the sharper the transition you get. When spraying, work in several lighter passes rather than one strong one, otherwise the paint will seep under the edge. Clean the stencil after use, so that dried residue does not spoil the next pattern. The recommended procedure and the dimensions of the sheet are given by the manufacturer on the packaging.

Who the stencil is for

It suits modelers who work with an airbrush and want regular shapes without cutting a mask by hand, and equally those who collect stencils by number and fill in the whole range step by step. Because it is universal, it is not tied to one scale or to one kit.
