Model Forum / General / Models / March 2006

I'm about to enter the paint phase for the Hasegawa 1/32 Stuka. The
instruction sheet
contains properly dimensioned masks for the splinter camo. Since this
is the first time
I've seen this in a kit I was looking for suggestions/ideas. Off the
top of my head I
came up with 2 ideas

1) cut them out and paste them on using Maskol on the back to hold them
to the model.
    Downsides are I may get a soft line (this would be _wrong_ .. am I
correct?) and the
    paper will be a little stiff to work with.

2) cut them out, lay them over some over-lapped strips of Tamiya wide
masking
    tape on glass and etch them into the tape. Then pull the tape and
tack it to the model.

I'm leaning towards #2....has anybody else done this with good results?

Thanks!
