Stencil set VALLEJO Vallejo: Stencils - Digital Numbers, reusable plastic stencil sheet for model painting and weathering

VALLEJO Stencils - Digital Numbers is a reusable plastic stencil sheet created to apply clear digital-style numerals and simple markings on scale models, miniatures, vehicles and dioramas. The sheet contains a range of alphanumeric cutouts sized for common modelling scales and designed to produce crisp, repeatable results whether using an airbrush, brush paint or weathering techniques. The durable plastic material allows multiple uses and clean edges for consistent placement of individual digits and short sequences.

Advantages

The stencil sheet offers precise, uniformly shaped numerals that simplify marking workflows and reduce freehand painting time. Its reusable plastic construction resists deformation and is easy to clean after paint use. The digital-style font provides a modern, machine-made appearance suitable for military, civilian and sci-fi subjects, and the layout supports quick selection and alignment of characters for serial numbers, vehicle IDs and tactical markings.

Suitable for

• Applying serial numbers and vehicle identification marks on military and civilian scale models
• Adding alphanumeric details to miniatures and gaming figures
• Creating consistent numbering for dioramas and display pieces
• Weathering and aging effects that include stenciled numbers or faded markings

Key specifications

How to use

Position the stencil sheet on a clean, dry surface of the model and secure it with gentle pressure or low-tack masking tape to avoid movement. Apply paint using an airbrush at reduced pressure for sharp edges or a stippling/brush technique for softer, weathered effects. For layered or faded looks, use light passes and gradual buildup of colour. After painting, allow the paint to dry sufficiently before removing the stencil to prevent smudging, and clean the stencil of paint residue with a mild solvent or soapy water depending on the paint type.

Usage recommendations

Test the stencil on a scrap surface to determine optimal airbrush pressure, paint viscosity and distance. Use low-tack tape to protect surrounding areas and avoid excessive paint buildup at stencil edges. Store the sheet flat and clean after use to preserve shape and alignment for repeated applications.
