Model Masking Tape Refill

Excellent masking tape when working with enamel paint. The tape does come in different width side but I prefer the 10mm. If using this tape to tape over acrylic paint, the tape will remove the paint when the tape is removed. When painting the water line I used enamel paint to avoid the problem that using Acrylic paint will cause when removing the masking tape.

So this is great tape for masking your models before you paint. What makes this tape so great? Basically, it's that it'll stop paint from getting where you don't want it without damaging the surface the tape is stuck to. Yes, painter's blue tape or regular masking tape also do a great job of creating that perfect line between the area you want to paint and the area you want to avoid painting. But depending on how dry that surface was before you taped it or how strong that tape's adhesive is, you risk pulling up the paint or damaging the surface material when you remove the tape. With this tape from Tamiya, that risk is virtually zero.

I just got some rolls of Tamiya masking tape. Up to now I had been using painters masking tape or scotch tape to mask canopies. I had very mixed results with those. I used some Tamiya tape today and found out why it has its reputation. It was like night and day difference between my other options and the Tamiya tape. It is thin, mates to canopy rails very well and cuts easily with an Xacto knife. This is worth every penny of the cost. Highly recommend this tape for masking.
