hey guys i was wondering where i can get the nato 3 tone airbrush mask for the humvee family? I just got 3 new kits (new to me) and i think the NATO scheme looks mean on these beasts...i'm even doing academy's M1151 in the nato scheme i can't seem to find any u.s. distributors that carry the J's work masks

There are no HMMWV masks that I know of. You are on your own. It isn't that hard to do it freehand with a good airbrush.

By the way, a NATO cammo M1151 is not uncommon.

J's Work makes a paint mask for the Tamiya M1025.



The only place I have seen it for sale is on Ebay. I have purchased two of them with no problems.

I used J's work mask on my Humvee build: link

It is nice, but some areas need a bit of work to make it 100% realistic.

I got it from Lucky Models, I think.

well here are 3 of the 4 kits i'm going to be 3 toning...the bigfoot will not be for a while though as i have the photo-etch set and it's going to take me some time (it's my first attempt at etch and there's a LOT of metal with this one)
