These masks really helped me knock this oldie into acceptable shape. Some helpful tips: 1) The clear parts are ill-fitting. I recommend blackening their edges with a marker, gluing them with extra-thin, then filling the large gaps with black CA when dry. Then sand and polish them back to smoothness and clarity. I didn't do this and there are some ugly gaps around the side windows. 2) Cut a thin strip of the mask after painting and leave it on the cockpit side windows as the "vent window" frame- as shown on the box art but not molded onto the part. 3) The rearmost windows should be domed, which I replicated with drops of UV resin. 4) The kit decals will probably be usable after sanding (yes, SANDING) their surface. Matchbox decals had a thick layer of varnish ON TOP of the color printing, which can be carefully sanded smooth with fine worn sanding pads. Aftermarket or KitMasx masks can be used for the roundels.
Thanks so much, Larry - you leave the best reviews! 😊 We love the tips you’ve shared here — super helpful for anyone tackling this kit. Really appreciate you taking the time to pass this along! 🙌
Great price, easy purchasing process, and exceptionally speedy delivery to the U.K.
Highly recommended-would definitely buy from this company again…Thank you.
Thanks so much, Nicholas! We really appreciate your kind words - it’s great to hear your order arrived quickly and that you were happy with the whole experience. The DHC-6 is such a fun nostalgia build. We'd love to see pics in the Kit Masx Builders Hub if you're on Facebook!
Excellent service!
Thank you, Thomas! We really appreciate your kind words—it means a lot to know the service hit the mark for you. Thanks for your support and happy masking!
These masks get the job done - they fit perfectly and they leave a nice clean edge, as one expects with Tamiya tape. Well done.
Thanks for the great feedback on our Tamiya tape masks, Peter!
Excellent product. Delivery exceeded expectations. Will definitely order from Kit Masx for future products and have already shared finding them on line
