    ZM tape vs Tamiya Tape

    in Miscellaneous Modelling Q&A

    Posted

    The tape should arrive this Friday evening so I'll happily do a comparison between the ZM and Tamiya tapes, as well as some DIY tapes I use for various purposes.  We are coming out of the aftermath of Hurrican Ian (up here, it was only various periods of rain) and the weekend should be gorgeous so hoping to get outside.  But will try and get the comparison up over the weekend.  Chris

    I can't answer your question directly, but why not get some and try it?  If the ZM tape is the same quality as the Tamiya tape, then you've saved yourself money going forward.  If not, then you could still buy it, and use it for those jobs (such as filling in between lines of Tamiya tape, or masking around masks for markings) where you don't actually need Tamiya tape quality, so you've still saved yourself some money.

     

    I do this, my secondary tape is a product called Kip tape, which is sold for the home decorating market, looks like a big reel of Tamiya tape, but is much cheaper per inch/mm.

     

    Very true.

     

    That is what I intend to do - but if I heard it was good stuff would get the 5 pack rather than the 1 pack.  I'll let you know the outcome!  Hope you are doing well.

    Hi all,  I see that SprueBrothers is carrying ZM tape as well as the usual Tamiya tape.  The ZM tape is about 1/3 the price of the Tamiya tape - but is it worth it?  I tend to think you get what you pay for.  How does the ZM tape compare to the Tamiya tape?  Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Oh Mike,

     

    I am so sorry to hear of Mariana's passing.  You are such a wonderful person I am sure you brought so much joy and love to her life.  I can only imagine the wonderful memories you two share of your life together, and I hope these special memories keep you well in the coming days and weeks.  Take care of yourself and family, mate.

     

    Warmest and most heartfelt wishes,

    Chris

     

     

    London Visit - Suggestions / Tips Welcome

    HIGHLY recommend if you are planning on using the Tube to get yourself some Oyster cards - Tube passes basically that work on the busses and the tube, and the water taxi on the Thames... Beats carrying around those bloody tickets!  Oh, and download the Mapway apps for the London Underground.  The free app is terrific - you tell it where you are and where you want to go and it tells you what line to take, which Tube car to take and where to stand on the platforms.  VERY useful.  There are a LOT of apps, of course, look for the MAPWAY one. 

     

    Also suggest a trip to Cambridge (about 45min by train).  The US Cemetery and museum there is worth the trip, plus Cambridge is cool with the Universities there.
