Opel astra v8: help needed!

[twizm]

Im not up to this point yet, but I need some advice on making the masks for the body of the car. i can mask the body, but im curious how im suppposed to use the 'stencil' masks included (anyone whos built this kit knows what i mean). any tips would be greatly appreciated.

tamiya do 40mm wide masking tape, transfer the shape onto the masking tape then apply it to the body, its definately a strange system

good luck

i knew that would be involved, but how do i transfer the shape? is it basically the same thing as with R/C stencil painting?

[chrismcgee]

cut the shape out and lay it on top of the tape, then draw round and cut it out, that shoud do it

i dont own an airbrush, will i need to mask all white areas on the car if im going to spray with a can or just the ones that the instructions tell me to? all very helpful thanks alot.
