[WWI] Tamiya Tape for Masking

[Andy Bannister]

Bare Metal Foil? Pretty much any hobby shop carries it. Hannants in the UK
or Squadron in the US certainly stock it.

At the risk of pressing the foil issue (no pun intended), my favourite
masking medium is Bare Metal Foil. Somewhat expensive, but the amount of
masking you get out of one sheet makes it fairly cost effective for small
masking jobs. It's ability to conform tightly to compound curves as well as
clearly show underlying detail (great for canopies & windows or masking to
panel lines) make it very useful. Plus it's extremely thin which keeps the
paint ridge size down. BM Foil is more useful as masking than as a bare
metal finish IMO.
