Tamiya Masking Tape 40mm 87240

Tamiya Masking Tape 87240 is a 40mm-wide modelling tape intended for masking larger areas on plastic models and R/C car polycarbonate bodies. Its wider format makes it useful where broader sections need to be covered while preparing a model for painting.

The tape has a thin yet durable construction designed to follow the surface while producing clean, defined paint edges. It provides firm adhesion during use and can be removed without leaving residue. The material is also easy to handle, helping with accurate placement across panels, bodywork and other suitable modelling surfaces.

Application

Apply the tape to the area that needs protection before painting, pressing it into position along the required edge. The 40mm width is particularly useful for covering wider surfaces, while the tape can also be positioned alongside narrower masking materials where more detailed boundaries are required.

Ensure the tape is seated along the paint edge before application. Once painting is complete, remove the tape carefully to reveal the masked area. No thinning ratios, drying times or paint compatibility instructions are stated for this product.

Recommended Uses

Use Tamiya 40mm Masking Tape when painting plastic model components, vehicle body panels or R/C polycarbonate bodies. It is suitable for creating straight boundaries, protecting larger sections from overspray and separating areas intended for different colours or finishes.
