Stencil data masks – legible stencils by spraying

This set is a photo-etched metal template for painting service stencils and technical data on the model skin. It lets you reproduce fine lettering by spraying instead of applying many small decals, giving a uniform, matt finish with no carrier film edges. The metal template is reusable.

The stencils are applied by holding the template against the painted skin and airbrushing paint through the cut-out fields.
