Rc Masks And Templates

Check out this GoDaddy hosted webpage! I have most all RC logo's, window masks (with straps/rivets etc), most pro racing logos and numbers. If you have a image, I'll convert into a plot file. $12 a sheet, $3 shipping.

Actually, you want some paint to 'bleed' under it. The use of mats in painting the real planes at the factory resulted a slightly blurred or feathered edge. Masking tightly to the surface will give too crisp an edge. I emulated this by rolling up masking tape and using the rolled up piece to hold the mask in place about 1/8' off the surface.

Obviously, care needs to be taken when spraying, airbrush or can, that you do not spray at a joint. Spray down on it or across and away from it but never directly at it as too much paint will go underneath. Originally posted by Doc Data Actually, you want some paint to 'bleed' under it.

There's a difference between a 'bleed' and a properly feathered edge, such as you'd get with a blanket mask. While camouflage was painted with blanket masks, national insignia and unit markings were almost always masked with tape and masking paper, so that they'd have a hard edge.

I have lots of photos of insignia being painted on WWII aircraft - on the production floor, on carrier hangar decks and in the field - and I can't think of any in which they DIDN'T mask with tape or at the very least use a hard-edged stencil.

Hopefully you've recovered from your loss. What a shame to crunch such a great looking plane and finish. I'm considering attempting the Jim Ryan fiberglass technique, to see if my mishaps can be less demanding.structurally! Jeff, let me make it clear that the glassing technique outlined on my website is NOT going to make the airframe significantly stronger in terms of crash resistance.

Glassing will make it a little stiffer torsionally and flexurally, and it'll create a slightly harder shell so it doesn't suffer so much from hangar rash. Install cygwin on windows xp. But the purpose of glassing an airframe is that the filled glass cloth makes a nice smooth paintable surface.

If you expect more, you may be disappointed.
