I just stumbled upon your channel. I am always looking for new ideas and techniques, and just learnt some - thanks. One note: the "navigation flaps" are called "ailerons" in English. Flaps are found inboard of the ailerons, and only move downwards in order to to create more lift at slower speeds, typically during take-off and landing.

Hi there! A very timely vid ... I'm just doing an Airfix 1/72nd dogfight double (Defiant and Do17) and was wondering how best to tackle the pre-shading at this scale, without making a mess that is! I'd not seen the flexible airbrush stencil used before and that looks like a bloody good idea. I could see me using it on some Japanese WW2 aircraft camo as well. So now I'm off to see where I can get my hands on some stencils here in the UK 😊 Btw the "Butcher Bird" always looks good in any scale and I'm more than a little jealous at the finish on yours. I do have an FW-190 in the stash so I know what I'll be doing next. Many thanks for your vids and the info. Keep calm and make models 😊😊

Hey thanks, im glad i had the right timing! I saw this stencil by coinsidence in a hobby store, the one use is from AK. They are made for postshading, but work very well for preshading as well👌🏼
