Tamiya TAM87035 Masking Tape Refill 18Mm, Brown

Awesome product and fast shipper

I like most modelers use this tape frequently for airbrush masking purposes. The transparency makes it a pretty good choice. Ive discovered some cheaper ways of masking my projects for paint and they are as easy to use and work as well as this tape. Ill be using the tape less frequently in the future.

Just what I needed

Terrific mask for stripes when using an airbrush.

great product. As listed.

I used this tape when assembling plastic model aircraft. It does a great job at holding pieces together while the adhesives set and it works great in masking for painting

Great tape, adhesive quality is great. I have used it several times and never leaves any residue on the paint.

The number one tape on the market for plastic model building hobbyists! I use the 18mm tape for masking larger areas prior to airbrushing, and, with its low-tack adhesion, it doesnt pull off underlying coats of paint that you apply this over. But, always take caution when removing the tape...peel it from the paint beneath slowly and carefully, just to be sure! For small areas, the 6mm wide tape is perfect. For masking compound surfaces, I will cut the tape into thinner strips, which helps it to conform more easily. Great for masking clear canopies and using a new exacto blade to trim away tape covering the frame work, so that the frames are the only areas exposed prior to airbrushing your canopies.

As usual with Tamiya, an excellent product that will make your life easier during your modelling/painting sessions. Having said this, dont use it to try to shield detail that you dont want to affect when is close by some sanding that you have to do, especially if you use a wet sandpaper. It will brake in pieces in no time. For that is better if you use transparent tape placed over it or in itself.

Worked well, even with water based acrylic craft paint on plastic
