Procopius Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) So, uh, stupid question here. Are there any printable 1/72 scale drawings of Spitfire camouflage schemes for the various marks? I had the bright idea that I could just print them onto frisket film or something and cut out the patterns to use as masks. Erm, how stupid of me indeed.

Right here: http://www.yolo.net/~jeaton/mymodels/spitf...02SpitTemp.html I used the diagrams from that site for my Airfix Mk.XII. I simply printed them in to normal A4 (make sure you don't use windows to do it though, has a habit of re-scaling them) and followed the authors layout and instructions. I felt they were spot on. Good luck! Simon Edited January 8, 2012 by SimonT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOAN Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hello, I think there is always a diagram in a separate sheet in the Tamiya boxes.... As far as I can remenber. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Don't know if you've seen this thread, a very interesting discussion about war-time masking. In particular post #46 on page three, Edgar discovered that the masks used in the manufacture of the aircraft themselves are an approximation based on approved plans, so some variation in the sceme is acceptable.

Procopius Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 AML actually produce maskes for Spitfires of various marks in 1/72nd. scale. Ken Do you know if they're reusable, by any chance? Damon - I did! A very interesting and informative thread, although it made me feel a little self-conscious about continuing to freehand camouflage.

Ken Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Do you know if they're reusable, by any chance? If they were anything like the ones for the Tamiya Mosqutio that Eduard did, I stuck those onto Frisk paper and cut them out and re-used a couple of times. I suppose it could be possible to scan them and print out paper templates Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
