No disrespect intended, but is it that difficult to mask canopies on your own? Yes, pre cut masks are a time saver. But having several sizes of Tamiya tape on hand is a definite short cut for those who do it themselves.

These actually aren’t precut, they’re just a swatch of Tamiya tape with the outlines stenciled on them and you cut along the lines. And if the kit comes with them, I’ll use them. If not, I’ll mask it myself using the Tamiya tape because as I discovered a few projects ago, masking yourself isn’t difficult at all. This kit came with masks you cut out and I used them. If it hadn’t I would’ve made them myself. Would’ve just taken a little longer.

Not really difficult if it's a 109, 190 a mustang etc. I do them myself but a Ju88 or something with a lot of small panels like this I will spend the few extra dollars and get me some masks.

Time passes. The wheel turns. This cockpit assembly and paint remainsas a massive leveling up moment for you, Ken. You just... hit every note; rang every bell.

Smooth is the word!
