Matho Models 1/35 German Crate Markings Airbrush Templates

Create detailed German crate markings in 1/35 scale with this reusable airbrush template set from Matho Models. Supplied as a single photo-etch fret measuring 5.8 x 4.1 cm, the set contains a selection of different crate markings for applying painted text directly to your chosen crate.

Rather than applying a separate printed marking, each photo-etched design acts as an airbrush template. Once you cut a marking from the fret, you can position it directly against the crate and hold it securely with masking tape. Airbrushing over the template transfers the design onto the surface beneath.

Reusable Photo-Etched Templates

The templates can be reused, making the set particularly useful when the same marking is required on more than one crate. The photo-etched construction provides a defined template for airbrushing, while the individual designs can be removed from the fret as needed.

As a 1/35 detailing accessory, the set provides a practical method for adding painted German crate markings while retaining control over their positioning and application. Select individual templates based on the marking required, rather than applying the full fret at once.

Applying the Crate Markings

Begin by carefully cutting the required marking from the photo-etch fret. Position the template on the crate and use masking tape to hold it firmly in place. Keeping the template secure during painting helps it stay in place while you apply the marking.

Airbrush over the text area while the template is attached, then carefully remove the template to reveal the painted marking beneath. The same template can then be retained and reused when the design is needed again.

The combination of multiple German crate marking designs, reusable photo-etched templates and straightforward airbrush application makes this a useful 1/35 accessory for adding repeated or individual painted markings to crates. Careful positioning with masking tape allows each selected design to be placed where required before airbrushing.
