I have just purchased, and received two (2) paint stencil sets by Verlinden.

No 1196 US Stars Template No. 1 (1:35 scale), and
No 1206 US Stars Template No. 2 (1:35 scale.

I cannot comment, or review as yet because I haven't got around to using them. I have a Tamiya GMC CCKW 2 1/2 ton truck which I'm going to have use the stencils on before tackling the Tamiya M26 Tank Recovery vehicle.

Anyway, by way of viewing what I've got, the stencils come with clear and concise instructions for use with an airbrush, and the quality of the stencil is good. As to their accuracy of scale I'll leave that to far more learned modelers.

Don't know if this is much help.

Verlinden Stencils work well. Have used them on aircraft & on this half track grill & hood with ease.

Buy Verlinden with confidence. You can also make your own stencils from Masking Tape of Evergreen plastic card. This way you can get exactly what you want in the perfect size.
