Masking Tape Made for Curves

When tackling rounded panels and tight radiuses, the Tamiya 87178 Masking Tape for Curves helps you keep edges crisp. The PVC material hugs curves to prevent wrinkling, making it a go-to for detailed RC painting.

Why This Tape Works on Rounded Panels

Tamiya 87178 comes in a narrow 3mm width that suits delicate lines and small patterns. The roll length of 20 meters gives you plenty for multiple bodies while maintaining a flexible adhesive that peels cleanly.

Suitable Projects

  • Detail strips on curved RC car shells
  • Intricate geometric masks and layered paint jobs
  • Rounded components on scale aircraft
Yes, it adheres well to polycarbonate but test a small area first and ensure surfaces are clean for best grip.
Use sharp hobby scissors or a hobby knife on a cutting mat to trim the 3mm tape for tight curves and tiny details.
Keep unused rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive quality and prevent dust buildup.
Yes, the thin 3mm width lets you build layered patterns, but apply each layer carefully to avoid gaps or overlap issues.
