TAMIYA Small Craft Cotton Swab Triangular/Flat 50Pcs
Description:

When building a scale model, cotton swabs are often used with painting and applying decals. However, cotton swabs bought from supermarkets usually have loosely spun tips and quickly lose shape. These Craft Cotton Swabs have tightly spun cotton tips and are easy to use, making them much better suited for hobby use.

• These are industrial strength cotton swabs, and compared with those found in supermarkets, they do not fray as easily when wet or dipped in solvents, resulting in less wastage.
• These swabs are great for applying decals and panel lining onto model surfaces.
• Creating fine details and weathering on small areas becomes a breeze.
• You can also use the swabs effectively for applying any of the Weathering Master Set color schemes, such as realistic rust stains, to your model.

Tip is 10mm long, 3mmwide at base, 2mm thick at base and tapers to a point.

Part#: TAM87184
TAMIYA Masking Tape For Curves 12mm
Description:

Masking is a job which modelers of all kinds in every scale must carry out, and it requires precision to ensure that your creation gets the perfect paint job. This masking tape helps in the process, allowing smooth and secure masking-off of curved lines where standard masking tape would sustain creases and possibly let paint seep underneath. At 12mm it becomes the widest in the Tamiya range, and is great for covering larger areas in one large sweep. This tape is also available in 3 other widths to meet a variety of needs such as 2mm, 3mm and 5mm respectively.

• Length of each roll: 20m
• A soft resin material is used, allowing the tape to adhere in a curved line while preventing paint from seeping into masked off areas.
