Expo Flexible Masking Tape 6mm x 18m (twin pack)

The Expo Flexible Masking Tape 6mm × 18m (Twin Pack) is a precision flexible masking tape solution designed for scale modelling, hobby painting, and finishing work where clean paint lines and smooth masking around curves or contours are required.

Supplied as a twin pack, the 6mm width provides increased coverage while still retaining enough flexibility to follow curved surfaces, making it ideal for broader camouflage edges, striping, and paint separation work.

About the tape

Flexible masking tape is especially useful for camouflage patterns, curved paint demarcations, body striping, wheel masking, and custom paintwork, where standard masking tape may crease or struggle to conform to complex shapes.

The 6mm width makes it particularly useful for medium-to-large masking areas while still allowing precise control on aircraft, armour, vehicles, railway subjects, and dioramas.

Key features

✔ 6mm flexible masking tape width
✔ 18m length per roll
✔ Twin pack for extended use
✔ Designed for curved and detailed masking work
✔ Helps create sharp, clean paint edges
✔ Flexible material conforms to contours and shapes
✔ Suitable for scale modelling and hobby applications

Typical uses in modelling

This tape is ideal for:

• curved camouflage masking

• aircraft paint demarcation lines

• vehicle striping and bodywork masking

• wheel and tyre masking

• larger canopy masking support areas

• railway and scenic detailing

Why modellers use it

This masking tape is useful because it:

• bends around curves without wrinkling or lifting

• improves paint accuracy and finish quality

• reduces paint bleed on complex surfaces

• saves time compared with hand-cut masking solutions

• works well with narrower tape for detailed masking jobs

Skill level

Beginner to Advanced

Suitable for:

• beginners improving paint control

• intermediate modellers refining finishes

• advanced builders creating complex camouflage and paint effects

A practical workshop essential for clean, accurate finishing work.

Application tips

• Apply to a clean, dry surface for best adhesion

• Burnish edges gently to prevent paint seepage

• Combine with narrower masking tape for finer detail work

• Apply paint in light coats for sharper results

• Remove carefully once paint is touch-dry

Ideal for

• aircraft modellers

• armour and vehicle builders

• railway hobbyists

• diorama creators

• detail-focused painters

Summary

The Expo Flexible Masking Tape 6mm × 18m (Twin Pack) is a flexible masking solution for precise paintwork and curved masking applications, helping modellers achieve sharp, clean finishes across a wide range of modelling and hobby projects.
