Matilda tank - non-Caunter camo - hard or soft?

The few pics I have find of camo on UK WWII armor tend to show a hard edge pattern in most if not all cases.

Thanks, I thought so too. But how on earth can one mask sharp-edged curvy camo on a tank full of details? The Caunter might be easier in the end?

Probably be easier to handbrush the pattern. If you're not doing a Caunter scheme you dont have to worry about the straight lines.

Vivian: you should go to Toys R Us and get an egg of Silly Putty.  I did a hard edge, complex camo scheme on a British desert Sherman here:

You roll out snakes of the silly putty and mark out your camo. Then you airbrush it and quickly remove the silly putty b/c it'll sink and creep all over the place.  Watch out for small fixtures.

Good luck

Cool! I was under the impression that it's only for soft-edge. I guess it depends how thin they're rolled? Do you mask with tape in between then?
