The Tamiya Grid Masking Sheets are an essential accessory for scale modelers and hobbyists seeking professional-grade paint separation and clean lines on static models or R/C projects. These adhesive-backed sheets provide a reliable barrier against paint bleed, featuring integrated grid markings that facilitate precise measurements for custom geometric cuts. While they offer excellent versatility for complex masking tasks, users should note that they are designed primarily for flat or gently curved surfaces rather than extreme compound contours.

Yes, they are suitable for masking polycarbonate R/C bodies, provided the surface is cleaned thoroughly before application.
While you may be able to reposition them once, they are designed for single-use application to ensure the best adhesive seal.
The adhesive is formulated for model kits; however, always test on a scrap piece if you are applying it over a non-cured or fragile finish.
Absolutely, these sheets are ideal for airbrushing as they provide a sharp, clean edge that prevents paint from bleeding under the mask.
Each pack contains five sheets measuring 250mm x 180mm.
Ensure the surface is degreased prior to application and use a cotton swab to firmly burnish the edges of the mask once applied.
Wipe the surface with a small amount of lighter fluid or a dedicated adhesive remover on a soft cloth to lift residue without harming the paint.
To prepare the sheets for use, ensure your model surface is completely free of oils, dust, or fingerprints, as these will compromise the adhesive bond. Use a sharp hobby knife or precision scissors to cut your desired pattern before removing the backing. Store any unused sheets in a cool, dry place and keep them in their original packaging to prevent the adhesive from collecting dust or losing its tackiness. When removing the mask after painting, pull at a shallow angle to ensure the cleanest line possible.
