Expo Flexible Masking Tape 3mm x 18m (twin pack)

The Expo Flexible Masking Tape 3mm × 18m (Twin Pack) is a precision flexible masking tape solution designed for scale modelling, hobby painting, and detailed finishing work where curved masking lines and clean paint separation are required.

Supplied as a twin pack, the 3mm width offers greater coverage than narrower tapes while still maintaining excellent flexibility for curves, contours, and complex masking tasks.

About the tape

Flexible masking tape is particularly useful for camouflage patterns, curved demarcation lines, striping, wheel masking, and canopy work, where conventional masking tape may struggle to conform smoothly.

The 3mm width provides a good balance between precision and coverage, making it ideal for medium-width paint lines and flowing curves on aircraft, armour, vehicles, and railway models.

• vehicle striping and markings

• wheel and tyre masking

• canopy support masking

• railway and diorama detailing

Why modellers use it

This masking tape is useful because it:

• bends around curves without wrinkling

• improves paint accuracy and consistency

• reduces paint bleed on detailed work

• saves time compared with hand-cut masking

• works well alongside wider tape for covering larger areas
