Airbrushing needs lots of very light passes , if you press too hard paint will creep under the stencil.

Not on mine. ;)

Unless you do it on purpose, full pressure, full paint, the tip next to the stencil and so on, of course.

Tamiya King Tiger (no options)
Taigen Full Metal T34 (winter)

Check out Late kt in the Tamiya builds , just done the turret markings. Almost got the correct colours , after a few goes at mixing for the right shade. ;)
