J-Work's Paint Masks - How good are they (St Charmond)

[Shermaniac]

Have recently bought the Takom St Charmond and have seen that J-Works have some paint masks.

They seem to be just sheets of outlines with no formal placement elements

Is there a schematic for placing each scheme on the related vehicle or is it 'up to me'

Your thoughts please on the St Charmond and other options available

At £4.30 delivered from Luckymodel, I'd think it's worth a punt either way

Hi Mike, Thanks, I do plan to have a go but didn't know if there was any formality to them.

I like the look of the Desert Shermie ones too so will be ordering soon.

Armour Models carry the stock for just a few pence more.

I notice they were offering free shipping on them too, but I tried it as an experiment, and it tried to charge me

I have a couple, there's a guide to placement and what colours to spray first/last, but I haven't used them in anger yet so to speak.

I've used a few of the aircraft sets and overall im impressed with them its definitely worth a shot imho.

And Mike lucky models postage is free they just charge you for the insurance now, well that's how i read it last time i ordered from them.

Thanks Guys, appreciate your input

I just received my set PPA5114 from LM, and they're kabuki tape pre-cut masks, which look just groovy from where I'm sat. 1 and ⅜ pages of A4 with printed colour letters on each one to tie it up to the kit painting guide, so you'll need to do a little head-scratching to get everything put in the right place. Apart from that requirement to use your brain ( ), I can't see any problems in using them

Thanks Mike

I'm off to the Hinckley Show tomorrow so I'll check out what Steve at Armour Models has and work from there.
