I 've used kenny's masks (Gator Masks) on several of my kits. One is the 350 Hornet. Haven't built it yet, but i need some masks for an aircraft (48th F-16 BArkeet)I was building. So pulled it out of the kit box and cut away some of the excess sectins to use on the plane. It worked like a charm.,,,,,and I think I can use them again. Of course the pattern may need adjustment.

Great tip Steve... I use some Parafilm M, stuff that is found in labs and hospitals. You can also buy it at some online hobby shops. Stretch it a bit, cover your canopies, and cut the frame you want.

I've keep both masks I got from Kenny. They work grate for cutting out small shapes and letters for masking random things.
