| The pre-cut sheet feels almost like Tamiya masking tape. I peeled off part of the mask from the sheet. It came off easily, and just like the masks for the Prince of Wales kit, the backing doesn't feel like it has an excessive amount of adhesive on it. Which means it probably won't leave a stick residue. The masks are extremely thin, so be careful when removing them and applying them to the model. The set of masks is quite extensive, especially for smaller ship, enabling you to cover the decks, the superstructure decks and smaller platforms. | ||||||||||

| This masking set is made specifically
for Flyhawk's basic Legion kit (FH1103). The masks are
sharply cut, and easy to remove from the backing. They are also very
thin, and you should be careful when removing them from the backing and
placing them on the model. These masks are a great idea, and
should cut down building time for those of us - like me - who like to airbrush
our decks and horizontal surfaces before painting the rest of the
model.
This is Flyhawk set FH710041, the Masking Seal set for their HMS Legion kit. It retails for around $15.00. Thanks to Flyhawk for the review sample. Highly recommended. |
