I've picked up one of the excellent Shadow Hobby circle cutters- if your masks don't materialize I'll happily cut some for you. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

U are correct about overstayed onto tires however in modeling contests it's seen as a huge flawy even if 100% correct...go figure. Thanks for the offer on the masks, is love to know about that circle cutter. How small does it cut? Working on fuel tanks today..pulling back from too much weathering.

Wafu Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Stunning work on all aspects of the dio. I use sticker dots for my wheel masks, used to get them from Staples, all different sizes available, although that cutter sounds ideal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
