One-Oh-Four Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Hi, I’m looking for tailcode decals or paint masks for my 1/48 F-4E. The decals I have for a Soesterberg 32nd TFS USAFE bird are way too dark. Of course I can cut my own masks from kabuki tape, using the decals as a guide, but pre-cut masks or decals will probably be somewhat more straight… Are there any manufacturers who sell such a product? photo by Henk Scharringa.

As an aside, not many folks (unfortunately) are aware of this excellent Scale Models Pant Masks site. Great resource for learning and also downloading masks (and more).

One-Oh-Four Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Hi Gene, thanks for the offer! I’ll check if someone in my local IPMS-chapter has a cutter. I’ll PM you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichB63 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) I really like Gene’s suggestion, but, if you’re still intent on water slide decals, I just spotted these on the (new) Squadron Hobbies website. Edited December 23, 2022 by RichB63 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
