🎨 DIY Tutorial – How to Make and Use Paint Masks on Scale Models ✂️🛩️

In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you how to create and apply custom paint masks to add realistic markings to your scale model. The video is divided into four parts, each focusing on a specific masking and painting technique:

🔧 Part 1: I present a custom-made tool I built for cutting masks — and demonstrate how I use it to create masks for markings.
🎯 Part 2: See how to precisely transfer the masks onto the model and use them for clean, sharp paintwork.
🖋️ Part 3: I switch to pre-cut masks with lettering to paint more complex shapes and markings.
🟩 Part 4: Learn a quick and effective method for masking and painting simple elements like walkway lines and anti-slip panels on the fuselage.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced modeler, this video will give you practical tips to level up your painting results with custom masks.
