New Micro-Masking Tapes and Mini-Scissors!

[Stuka 66]

Hey Guys,

 

After a long search, we've fund quality mini-scissors that make cutting and using super-thin Micro-Masking Tapes easy.

Here's a little ditty on using both to mask clear parts and canopies.

Agreed, that Aizu micro tape is INVALUABLE. Ive used it for a TON of stuff. Will buy more for sure.

I did a F4U-1D and this the tape I used as the group symbols have to have over sparky so I masked my basic pattern which was just about the perfect thickness to simulate the 2inch masking tape used by the navy on the real planes.  I posted my build on the WHIP page.  I did a Corsair as seen on Essex in 1945 with the double triangle group symbols.
