How I use DN Models masks for Insignia 

I don’t Model aircraft but I love watching your videos. Extremely informative. Very well done!

Wow, I'm sold! I've seen stencils used on tanks but on a large insignia like that, brilliant. I've often thought that decal edges always looked too clean. Those insignia were quickly painted on reusing stencils multiple times. I believe they used (at least on the large, common insignia) a wooden framed stencil that they simply laid on the wing or hung on the fuselage. Bleed and soft edges would be more prototypical than laser straight lines. I doubt they hired professional sign painters.

Love it Nigel. I'm about to try it for my first time. So, thankyou for all your effort.

Excellent video Nigel. What I tend to do is because the outer mask of the star and bar is big, I cut the outer mask into four pieces. That way makes the mask easier to work with. Hope that helps.

Good tutorial Nigel...I use the same vinyl material to make masks with my vinyl cutter but always have issues transferring it to my model. Thanks for the info :)

Yes, build the Komet!

One other thing, I would imagine they have painters tape in the UK at your local DIY. The blue or green tape in the Paint section. Same size as regular masking tape but lower tack to avoid pulling paint up. A lot cheaper than Tamiya masking tape.

Build the Komet mate 🍻👍

I would think it difficult to do on a built model without having to be very careful to avoid damage to the rest of the airframe but the painted on look has to be better 😀

Good review Nigel thank you. Does anyone in the UK stock this 'DN' line? I ask as added often high US shipping charges and then getting hammered by HMRC and having to pay the high PF admin 'Handling fee' just for the sake of grabbing a couple of quid of tax makes most US modelling purchases these days a non-starter.Thanks and keep up the good work and reviews.
