the oramask is intriguing, had no idea what this was about, watched the instructional videos. I am going to try it out.For camo from the wing to the fuselage I just used Tamiya strips but for the wings I did just as you said. I enlarged the instructions to fit the aircraft. cut the masking film just large enough to lay over the pattern I want to mask. Remove the film to reveal the stickiness and lay it over the pattern. Its not very tacky from the get-go but I remove it a bit more. I then use small curved scissors to cut the pattern out and lay it over the model. I'm using Oramask more and more on RAF camo and shortly for Luftwaffe. While Luftwaffe patterns on the wing are, for the most part straight lines, I like that I can lay down large pieces instead of small strips of Tamiya. This is the type of scissor I use for cutting out bendy camo
Make sure you get 810. The others, 811 and 813 are more rigid so I've just learned. From the Orafol site.....the oramask is intriguing, had no idea what this was about, watched the instructional videos. I am going to try it out.
makes more sense to me now, affordable too, gracias.Make sure you get 810. The others, 811 and 813 are more rigid so I've just learned. From the Orafol site.....
"Developed for use in conformable paint stencil applications, especially for paint and spray techniques on complex curves, uneven or semi-flexible substrates and surfaces requiring transparency of the paint mask for substrate visibility. Great for various automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment paint mask applications. Not suitable for wet applications. Remove stencil film prior to baking."
Though they say its good "....on complex curves...." its not really that flexible but it can be persuaded. As I mentioned above, fuselage camo curves are usually not as extreme as on the wings so I lay the Oramask up to the wing root and then use thin strips of Tamiya tape to carry the camo on the fuselage. The tape should overlap the Oramask a little
