This stencil set from Voyager consists of three pieces of photo-etch wheel masks. Two pieces measure 5.75x2.5 and the third is 7.5x2.5 All three pieces contain individual mask/stencil for various Tamiya AFVs each marked with the vehicle for which they are used. The individual pieces can be removed from the larger fret in the same manner as a regular photo-etch part. The set is packaged in a plastic sleeve with a piece of card stock with the PE frets taped on so they wont be bent or damaged easily. Also included is an instruction, sheet 8x3.5, printed on two sides showing you how to use the mask/stencil.
Vehicles:
The following is a list of the vehicles covered by Voyager in this set:
There are two templates marked Kubelwagen Type82 I believe one should be marked Schwimmwagen 166 as essentially the mask works on both vehicle wheels.
Conclusion:
If you build Tamiya AFV kits youll find this makes life much easier when painting the road wheels. Also good for making perfect circles in different sizes (like the white part of a Nazi flag) Although made with Tamiya kits in mind Im sure these can be used on other manufacturers kits of similar AFVs (like Dragon Panthers)
SUMMARY
Highs: Versatile, useful tool that makes the tedious job of wheel painting considerably easier.Lows: None really.Verdict: Makes me want to break out Tamiya kits from the stash! Seriously, this tool from Voyager is a real time saver when it comes to painting with an airbrush.
