Oh, it works very well! Several places offer this item for sale, including eBay.

I paid $15 for a circle cutter from Michaels. Using masking tape, you can create your own wheel masks. Works very well.

Hi!

Just this evening, I finally used my Royal Model stainless-steel wheel mask template #358 for the first time! Used it on the roadies, idlers and return rollers for a 1/35 Pz IA. Worked like a charm- flat-blacked the wheels (Floquil grimy black) and zapped some acryl schwarzgrau on for the base coat. 5 mins for all and no mess! Whew! I'm heading over to do my Pz. IV-C set next! Can't do better for speed and neatness. I'd recommend one a these gadgets in a heart-beat!

Bob
