That's what i would like to do, there is a French guy who makes stencils up and have ask if he does them for 88mm cases but have had no reply from him. Anyone know him, he is Henry of Milcorem https://www.milcorem.fr/ anyone know if he is still about.

I have had some stencils off him in the past month and found him very good, just go on his site and order them he has them for the cases but marked up as socket 8.8cm PzGr
cheers

That's what threw me, sockets, seems to be out of stock on the flak stencils.
 
heres some photos of the case before it went in the evaporust.the photo of the case head shows after it has been in the evaporust overnite
stencils you get from a signwriter/graphic wrap place that uses this masking film then you tell them how you want it then they cut it with computer,you stick it on like a sticker then spray with airbrush

does anyone know why this might be?
