This was not my first Kit Masx set - Iโm a repeat customer. One of the new(?) things I liked about this set was the color outline of the pieces. No more holding the tape at an angle to see the edges.
This set has inner and outer masks. I ended up using both in places as the fit was not perfect - to be fair the model was the A6M2, which may have slightly different sizing. My only quibble was figuring which section of masking was in or out.
Overall, they did the job superbly and my canopy section came out flawless with no residue or paint creep. Iโll be back for more!
Thanks so much for the detailed feedback, Bryanโand for coming back to us! ๐ The set you purchased wasn't actually designed for the A6M2, so there are some differences in the canopy framing that would explain the fit not being quite precise. We're really glad you were able to make it work and get such a great result!
It also looks like you received one of our experimental laser-cut sets! The laser leaves that visible outline, making the individual masks much easier to see, so we're glad you liked that feature. ๐ For our regular plotter-cut sets, a little tip is to gently peel back the surrounding Tamiya tape from the backing to reveal the individual masksโjust go slowly and carefully around the smaller pieces.
And your point about identifying the inner versus outer masks is a good one. We'll take that feedback on board and see if we can come up with a simple way to label them more clearly in future sets. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
