Here is another, best to stencil/mask on a section thats flat/clear. Tip if its a white surround make sure the masks line up as white is a pain to touch up.
the foliage loops restricted position one got in the way not good with a 3 part mask/stensil

I do not usually use a paint brush when I use a paint mask instead I use Pentel Paint Pens I have a Fine nib and a Medium nib and a Broad nib, With these three I have no need to touch up the numbers or letters,
If you use Acrylic paint in the pen it is a simple matter of washing out the inside of the pen with warm water before changing colours.
Large areas that need infilling I do using a sponge,
Again easy to clean with warm water.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

So after a look at you website I come to the conclusion that all my Sherman numbers which to be fair not doing any research on numbers are wrong. Would it be possible to make up 3 or 4 numbers for Sherman’s some American including company and tank number some British 1 for a cromwell 1 for a crusader 1 for an Achilles and 1 for a Pershing as well as the respective markings and offer up a cost on that please? I think your stencils are the way forward as a few of my tanks are desert and you can get black numbers in stickers
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Nice stencils but the battle damage is just as outstanding. Especially the shell impact spots!
