Application Tips and Additional Information

➡️ Spare practice masks are provided! Check out our Paint Mask Tutorials page for a step-by-step guide on how to use and apply our masks. 

➡️ We include transfer tape with your set! Transfer tape helps accurately transfer and position masks onto the model's surface, maintaining alignment and design integrity while protecting the mask adhesive. Look for two 7"x9" pieces of transfer tape included with your masks. Learn how to Apply Main Markings Using Transfer Tape

🌟 This is a Hybrid Set 🌟

The masks in this set are primarily cut in genuine Tamiya tape, with the exception of the U.S. flags, which are cut in Oramask 810 flexible vinyl due to their fine detail. This combination makes the set a hybrid.

Why Hybrid?
A hybrid set is necessary when certain components are too intricate or delicate to cut cleanly in Tamiya tape. Please refer to the product image for a clear breakdown of materials — areas highlighted in grey are provided in Oramask 810 vinyl, while all other masks are supplied in Tamiya tape.

What's better - vinyl or Tamiya tape? Both work great! Choose vinyl if you plan to use your masks right away and Tamiya tape if you're tackling your project later on. Check out our FAQ for more info!
