Looking for insignia masks

[MichelC]

I'm looking for ready-made masks for national insignia, specifically Luftwaffe WW II in 1/72.

I know already of the following companies: Maketar, Montex and Ad Astra. Didn't find what I was looking for there. Does anyone know of any other company producing such masks?

There is also Alliance Model Works, which offers exactly what I'm looking for -- generic German insignia -- but theirs are metal stencils, which I'm a bit wary of as to how well they adhere to the surface to prevent leaks. Not cheap either. On the upside they are reusable. Anyone used those to good result?

I've only used metal masks (Aeroclub) for WWII mottle and they are usable but difficult. I'd imagine that using them for national markings would be a pain

Thanks Narses2 -- Alliance Models Works makes mottle masks as well. I'm sure that metal masks are a lot easier to use for mottling than insignia so if you found them hard even for mottling they'll sure be a bitch for markings...

Damn, what do modelers who do painted-on markings use? Cut out their own masks? I'm not unwilling to go that route but what about those two-tone insignia like black balkenkreuz with a black and white border?
