Fighter Jet Pumpkin Stencil
A military fighter jet viewed from a three-quarter above angle is silhouetted as a single connected cutout in this vehicles pumpkin stencil, with swept delta wings, twin tail fins, and a detailed cockpit bump all readable in the clean outline. The narrow tail fins at the rear are the most fragile elements of the design. Score and cut those tail fin points before opening the large body void, so the thin tips have the full wall's rigidity behind them while the blade passes through.
Airplane Pumpkin Stencil
A commercial jet airliner shown from a three-quarter overhead angle is rendered as one clean silhouette: swept wings, twin engines under each wing, a small T-tail, and a stubby nose all read instantly when lit. The entire plane shape is carved away as a single large negative space, so the pumpkin wall forms a crisp orange outline around the aircraft. Because the wingtip points are narrow and fragile, score those corners last and use a fresh blade to keep the tips from tearing.
