Masking Set Roundup

Art Scale Kit

Reviewed by Brett Green

Art Scale Kit has been around for a few years now but their range of products is rapidly expanding.

Amongst these are their growing "Scale Mask" series. These are die-cut, self-adhesive masks on yellow "Kabulki" paper - a slightly flexible material that will allow enough flex to sit down into recesses or cope with curves, yet remains rigid enough to keep their shape.

Some of the releases are available as either One Sided or Double-Sided. Not surprisingly, single sided sets cover the outside of the canopy, while the Double-Sided sets provide masks for the inside as well as the outside of canopies.

It is nice to be given the choice.

Tonight I am reviewing six new masking sets in 1/48 and 1/32 scales. They are:

Art Scale Kit Item Nos.

200-M32138 - 1/32 Spitfire Vb (Early) One-Sided Masking Sets for Kotare kit. 6.80 €

200-M32139 - 1/32 Spitfire Vb (Early) Double-Sided Masking Sets for Kotare kit. 8.20 €

200-M32141 - 1/32 Do 335 A-0 Pfeil Double-Sided Masking Sets for Zoukei-Mura kit. 8.20  €

200-M48333 - 1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 One-Sided Masking Sets for MiniArt kits. 6.99 €

200-M48334 - 1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 Double-Sided Masking Sets for MiniArt kits. 8.18  €

200-M48332 - 1/48 P-47M Thunderbolt Double-Sided Masking Sets for MiniArt kits. 8.18  €

These all feature individually numbered masks making it easy to keep track of where you are.

These canopy masks are certainly worthwhile.

Hands up everyone who loves cutting and applying canopy masks from tape. Anyone? Thought not! ASK's growing range of die-cut, self adhesive masks will be a fast and easy way to get accurately painted canopy frames and wheel hubs

Thanks to Art Scale Kit for the samples
