1/35 Stencil For WW2/Modern US AFVs

Stencil set for painting US Army armored vehicle markings — numbers, letters, stars, and other typical insignia used on American AFVs from WWII through modern conflicts. The all-purpose stencil for Sherman, M3, M4, Patton, Abrams, Bradley, Stryker, and any US armor in between.

US armor is heavily modeled but often comes with limited or low-quality decals. When you need a specific number combination, a different star size, or markings that aren't included with the kit, this stencil set lets you paint them on directly — and they'll stay perfectly in place forever, with no decal silvering or lifting issues.

What's included:

• Numbers — for vehicle identification, unit designation
• Letters — for nicknames, callsigns, and divisional codes
• White stars — the US Army standard insignia in different sizes
• Additional marking elements

Works great for:

• 1/35 WWII US armor — Sherman variants, M3 Lee/Grant, M10, M18, M26
• 1/35 Korea and Vietnam US armor — Patton tanks, M48, M60
• 1/35 modern US armor — Abrams M1A1/M1A2, Bradley, Stryker, M-ATV
• Custom paint schemes — when you want letterings the kit doesn't include
• Reference photo recreation — matching specific historical vehicles

Key features:

• 1/35 scale stencils — sized for standard US armor kits
• Numbers, letters, and US star insignia
• Compatible with WWII through modern US AFVs
• Apply with airbrush or hand-paint
• Stainless steel — reusable across multiple builds

How to use:

1. Pick the marking you want from the stencil sheet
2. Cut the small square around the marking
3. Tape it in position on the model with masking tape
4. Airbrush or hand-paint the marking color (typically white for stars and numbers)
5. Lift carefully and seal with a clear topcoat once dry
