Some people think this is going to far but if you want to do properly and see great results this way is brilliant. Thank you

Top tips right there! I normally paint my frames by hand with a fine brush, but have masked on occasion

'Speed rarely achieves quality.' Amen to that.

I'm a Japanese who started modeling recently. Since I am not good at English, subtitles are very helpful. Thank you for the video that I always use for reference! Channel registered

This is a tedious method but your results are excellent. Better than mine. I dip my clear parts in gloss clear (future floor polish works well) for a protective layer, then paint the frame as best I can. Using water based paint, I can scrape any blemishes using a toothpick. Works well for me so far.

I tried out your technique this morning and it was great! I used the precut masks that came with the kit but they were too long as I discovered after pulling them off. I used your technique and it worked out great! I was able to mask the outside windscreen in a few minutes so I thought I'd try the inside as well. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

Great idea! This way you can press it in place much easier with the tip of a toothpick.

Great technique and Video. Also your tutorial on making seatbelts. Thank you for sharing.

This is a great tutorial, I've come back to it several times over the years and find your method gives far superior results to pre-cut masks.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to make these brilliant videos, you have inspired me to get back into the modelling hobby again, once again... Thank you..

Awesome demo, and excellent tips! Thanks for posting.

After trying different techniques, this one is definitely the best... Thank you ! 🙏

Well explained, I do it almost as you do. Interesting the idea with the handle.

Excellent video. This is the first thing I have encountered that has convinced me to try liquid mask. I will be try ing this method on my next aircraft kit, to be sure! Well done!

Just catching up with your videos and you have sold me on the need to mask a canopy inside and out. I like the way your explanations make perfect sense and also thank you for speaking my language, your English is excellent. Thanks again.

Thank you - these are really useful tips. Canopy masking is one task I really don't like but it makes such a big difference to a kit.

Finalmente un VERO tutorial fatto da un bravissimo modellista!

Awesome video! Thank you! I've learned so much from your videos. I owe you big time! Keep them coming!

Best masking tute I've seen so far.

Excellent tips, especially the one to cut the tape at an angle. One idea for interior that I got from another video: paint the top (outter) masked canopy with the colour of the cockpit, ie. light green. Let it dry then paint the exterior colour on top of the first colour. The cockpit colour will show on the inside. I will do this on my next model. My eyes and hands simply won't allow the level of work you do! 😁

After watching two of your videos in a row I instantly subscribed, these a great tutorials with no excess bs.

Great video. Yes, 10 mins applying a single strand of tape will pay off a lot more with the time you will save fixing it but using another product that will supposedly do the whole part in 2 mins. Struggling a bit with masking some curved surfaces, not canopies and completely forgot the simple fact that wider tape is harder to contour to a curve. There are many, many options for hobby tape, especially Tamiya's flexible tape which is great, but I always like to have other options available so I don't come to a dead stop if I don't have my go-to product available. Except for certain applications like some bubble canopies or even wheels, I really don't use masking fluid much. I thought it was great when I first heard about it but quickly found out it is hard to get a clean cut, even with a sharp blade, and it requires a lot more pressure to cut, which can result in damage to the paint or even the model. Two thumbs up.

Absolutely!!! Quality takes time.

Dude! Your videos are awesome! Thank you. I’m going to try the seat belt tutorial on my next airplane. Keep sending out the videos and I’ll keep waiting for them to watch.

Glad I found this video. Very good tips and method.

Gracias por compartir tus excelentes tecnicas!

This is the most frustrating part about model-making thank you for this great tip

Thanks for your tips. I've learnt something new that I will try. And will have water close handy with the liquid mask.

Bro your technique is lit! Subscribed

This is how a tutorial is done. Thanks!

Very nice, great job, incredibly smart and inventive.

Great video!! Keep then coming and thank you very much.

You have the best videos.....thank you for sharing your tips and products.

Crisp edges! thank you for the tips

G'day MM, That's very impressive. I don't think I've got steady enough hands to manipulate the narrow masking tape but I'll give it a go.The commercial cockpit masks are way too expensive for what you get. You are right, sometimes they just don't fit the canopies they are supposed to fit. Just yesterday I purchased some masking liquid so it's great that I've now learned how to use it from an expert. Thank you! BH

Love it. Keep it coming. Easy stuff to follow

Great advice, many thanks and best wishes.

very good demo! useful tip indeed! Thanks!

I use a type of "Flat head stick" too. Tip: Old paintbrushes work great. Just trim off the bristle end and cut to shape.

I've ordered Mr. Masking Sol today so I can try this. Thanks for sharing!

I use the White glue method of masking off the clear sections of canopies. White glue won't attack the plastic like some liquid masks do. But this is definitely a good alternative. Thanks for sharing.

Thank You for this video. Great quality

That is amazing. Thank you so much for showing us this technique bro.

Cool 👍. Thank you for showing

Great video mate, thank you! I really struggle to get liquid mask to sit properly, and never thought to use it in conjunction with tape!

To add to this fine video.....Mix up a small amount of dish soap and water...Brush it on the canopy. The soap/water mixture allows you to slide the masking tape around a bit easier for better/easy placement. No hard and fast rule for the mixture....I usually use something like 80% (water) to 15-20% glue. This is almost a requirement when using after market canopy masks.

Great tips...thanks!

Parafilm is something I have used for masking and it's interesting to use. Easy to cut. Will stick to the plastic no problem. Easy to remove too.

Thank’s for the tip of the handle! Great

Nice work, I enjoyed your choice of music too. Thanks for your videos.

Thank you for this video. Even though it takes some time, the effort is worth it for a good result.

Oh wow that solved a couple of problems I'm having! 🥳

Very smart, and informative Thanks, guy 😎👍🏻

thank you for this clear and very instructive tutorial :)

Thanks for your great tips ☺️!

Thank you! you help me so much!!

once again great video and awsome tips

Good tip! Good job! I’ll try using liquid mask. Thank you! 👍👏

Good tutorial! Thank you

Very helpful video, thank you 👍🏻

When I was much younger and still in possession of fine motor skills I prided myself on my ability to hand paint canopies and other various small parts. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I can’t even see well enough up close to do it anymore, to say nothing of being able to make my hands work properly.

I have watched this video before but it is great to watch again, I can see one reason for masking the inside and paint, that would be to take away the unnatural gloss of the inside of the frame, still a very good video and great tips.Please keep safe and well.

Good tutorial! Very informative!

Hi There. I've just tried your masking technique over the weekend and I found it brilliant and rather easy, I wasn't brave enough to mask the inside the canopy but I'll certainly give it a go on my next build, I did have a little paint bleed as there was an area I didn't burnish down enough.So thank you for a really useful how to.

Nice tutorial and awesome result. This is worth an Abo.

Good tutorial. I wasn't sure about masking the inside but your technique seems to work quite well. Thanks for doing this. Cheers!

Nice technique,,well worth the effort,,

Excellent method

Good tutorial, Thanks a lot for share it

very informative. thanks

Damn, that's awesomely skillful. I'd love to be able to use this technique, but I'll have to start cutting down on caffeine first. Thanks for the tutorials, learning a lot from you. Cheers.

Dude you're the best

Well done!

Great Job👍

Many thanks for sharing!

Ive tried the paint on mask before didnt like the result but now seeing your method im gonna give ut another tru on my 124th hurricane thanks

Great video. Just masked a complex canopy which drove me insane. Looked on YT for a better way. Found your stuff. Thanks! I also love your positivity. :)

Great information. Thank you. Subbed.

I used to use clear plastic tape and a sharp knife to trim it off the areas to paint. Then I would spray zinc chromate first, then the aircraft color second. Worked fine.

Very good.

Very helpful video. Thanks

Patience pays off

Nice. Thanks a lot.

Good tutorial.

Nice!

I've never considered painting the *interior* color as a base coat for the outside! I'll have to try that and see what it looks like from different angles.

Great tips, thanks 🍻

Thanks for sharing not bad idea...

Thank you!!

very helpful

A new sub from me because of.. (a) Your accent. AWESOME!!!! (b) Your attention to detail is to be applauded. Great video!!

Hmmm... that first method does indeed look time-consuming... but also simple and effective. Going to try that out on my next model. Thank you!

Thanks so much , going to give it a go on my P61, mate I had to Subscribe 😊😊😊😊

Fantastic

Nice tutor

Thanks so much for your tutorial, I also want to create masks and decals for my rc aircraft, I’m totally new to doing something like this, which machine would you recommend the Cameo Portrait, or the new Cameo 4. I’m pretty good on a computer but not the best. That’s another consideration I’ve read that people are having a hard time using and understanding the software on some of these machines. Is one easier to use than the other. Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

While it may be a given for many modelers, a first step can be to clean the plastic (and with clear plastic to do it without making scratches) to remove any oils or contaminants including finger oils. And then to avoid touching the plastic with bare fingers after that.

super tips,danke

i also do that method, time consuming but rewarding results

Thanks MM.
