Jeff Herne Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 After many sleepless nights at the computer, little or no time at the workbench, and lots of swearing at uncooperative computer software (I hate you Paypal Merchant Services) we're pleased to announce the launch of our newest product line - vinyl paint masks. We're hitting the ground running with 60 different sets in stock and ready to ship, and another 12-15 in the final artwork stages. Here's a sample of our F4U Corsair set... In fact, we're only going to do 1/32 and 1/24 aircraft, and 1/35 armor eventually. A quick list off the top of my flat head includes the following: Aircraft specific sets (markings are cut for size) for P-51, P-47, F4U, Spitfire, Hurricane, Typhoon, Tempest, Mossie, Beaufighter, A6M, Ki-61, K-84, N1K, Bf-109, Fw-190. Generic sets include Japanese hinomaru, German Balkankreuz, Luftwaffe numbers and codes, USAAF/USAF/USN Modex fonts, and generic US insignia, stars and bars, and pre-war roundels. And...as always, you can get Warpigs pigments and washes, too. In fact, we launched a new Warpigs Wash color, burnt umber, at the request of our customers. Please check us out at Modelerswarehouse.com Samples will be forthcoming to any ARC staffer who contacts me. If you're doing that special project and would like to try our masks, drop me a line. We'll supply the mask, you supply the finished photos for our website. In the interests of time, we'd like your model to be almost ready to paint. Thanks!

CorsairMan Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 My Dauntless is at a point where I will soon be painting. Too bad you don't have a specific set for that. I have a Thunderbolt for your P-47 set though - I will be checking you out when I get to that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff Herne Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Dauntless sets are in the works, should be ready to go within a couple of weeks. Drop me a note, let me know which aircraft you're looking to model, I can most likely fulfill your request as to numbers, etc. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Very interesting. I have a couple of 1/32 and 1/24th Spitfire projects coming up in the pipeline for later this year and I plan on masking and painting the markings rather than using decals. I'm usually okay making my own masks for Roundels and Flashes, but the Squadron codes are trickier and the serials a pain. Any plans for generic codes and serials letter/number packs rather than for specific machines ? Cheers, Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, we have generic RAF squadron codes and serials in the works. Biggest problem we have at this point is finding time to get all of those 'needed' subjects into production.

Scooby Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Great, I tried to get another company to do 1/32 scale masks of Canadian VC winner Hammy Gray's Corsair in 1/32. It should be a simple sheet to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
