Fine Edge Masking for Model Bodies

The Tamiya 53170 Glass Tape gives modelers a reliable 15x25mm masking option for tight paint layouts. Its glass construction is aimed at producing crisp separation lines and tidy edges on RC shells and panels.

Clean Peel with Strong Hold

This tape sticks securely through typical painting steps yet is intended to lift cleanly without leaving residue, reducing cleanup time after paintwork. It is a practical choice for builders who switch between simple and complex paint jobs.

Designed for Polycarbonate and Smooth Surfaces

Particularly effective on polycarbonate bodies, the tape limits paint seepage and keeps borders defined during multi-stage repainting. It is a solid accessory for achieving controlled, showroom-style finishes on RC models.

Will the tape conform to slight curves?

Yes, it can follow gentle curves when applied carefully, but tight radii may need shorter strips or additional shaping.

Is it safe for multi-layer paintwork?

It is commonly used for layered paint techniques; always test on a scrap panel first to confirm adhesion and removal behavior with your paint system.

How should I cut the tape for small details?

Use a sharp hobby knife or scissors and trim slowly to maintain straight edges, then press down firmly before painting.

Does it damage the polycarbonate finish?

When applied and removed correctly it should not harm polycarbonate; avoid leaving tape on for extended periods and test on spare pieces if in doubt.
