Modeling Tapes and Masking Materials – Precision Tools for Perfect Finishes

In modeling, accuracy and precision are key aspects. Every detail, every small finish, and every color transition requires precise work while also protecting surfaces that are not meant to be painted. In this regard, modeling tapes and masking materials are invaluable, allowing you to precisely separate different areas of the model, protecting them from unwanted paint contamination and helping you achieve perfect paint edges.

At ATA World of Models and Toys, we offer a wide range of tapes and masking materials, essential for every modeler. Thanks to the diverse properties and uses of our products, you can tailor your masking tools to the specific needs of your project.

Why use masking tapes in modeling?
Tapes and masking materials are absolutely essential when working on models, especially when multi-color painting or applying intricate patterns is required. Here are some key reasons to stock up on the right masking materials:

  • Precise surface protection – Masking tapes allow for the protection of selected areas of the model from accidental paint application, which is invaluable for intricate patterns and multi-color models.
  • Perfect paint edges – With properly selected modeling tapes, you can achieve sharp, precise edges without smudging paint or unwanted drips.
  • Protection from damage – Some models require the use of special masking materials that protect delicate construction elements from mechanical damage or chemical exposure.
  • Variety of materials and shapes – Depending on the project's needs, there are different types of tapes available, from paper, through flexible, to masking sheets that can be shaped to fit the model's contours perfectly.

Different types of masking tapes in our offer
Our offer includes various types of masking tapes that differ not only in the material they are made of but also in width, length, and application. This way, you can choose the perfect product for your needs, whether you're working on small details or large model surfaces.

1. Paper Tapes

Paper masking tapes are one of the most popular materials used in modeling. They are easy to apply, adhere well to surfaces, and can be easily removed without risking damage to the model. These tapes come in various widths, allowing for use in many situations. Example products include:

  • 6mm Masking Tape (Tamiya 87033) – A narrow tape ideal for precise work on small surfaces.
  • 18mm Masking Tape (Tamiya 87035) – A wide tape for securing larger areas of the model.

Paper masking tapes are perfect for standard surfaces, and thanks to their flexibility, they are easy to shape even on irregular surfaces.

2. Flexible and Rubber Tapes

In some projects, especially where painting occurs on curved or irregular surfaces, flexible tapes work perfectly. They are made of materials that adapt well to the surface and stay in place during painting. Examples of such products include:

  • 2mm Curved Surface Masking Film (Tamiya 87177) – A flexible film that adapts perfectly to curved surfaces, allowing for precise masking.
  • Bumper Foam Tape (Tamiya 54430) – A rubber tape ideal for protecting delicate elements of the model, such as bumpers in car models.

Flexible masking tapes are an irreplaceable tool in situations where precision in fitting the material to the surface is key.

3. Masking Sheets

Masking sheets are another tool widely used in modeling. These sheets come in various sizes and can be cut as needed, making them an extremely versatile product. In our offer, you will find both smooth sheets and those with a grid, allowing for precise masking of even the most demanding surfaces. Examples include:

  • 1mm Grid Masking Sheets (Tamiya 87129) – Sheets with a fine grid that can be cut and shaped to fit the model's contours.
  • Smooth Masking Sheets (Tamiya 87130) – Smooth sheets that can be shaped and cut, perfect for masking large areas.

Masking sheets are particularly useful for more advanced projects, where complex patterns and shapes need to be masked.

Double-Sided Adhesive Tapes – Fixing and Securing Elements
In modeling, double-sided adhesive tapes have wide applications. They are used not only for masking but also for fixing various structural elements, such as receivers, regulators, or other small components. Thanks to their construction, these tapes provide solid mounting, which is easy to dismantle without damaging the model's elements.

An example is the 20mm x 2m Double-Sided Adhesive Tape (Tamiya 54693), which is perfect for fixing small elements in car models and other vehicles. The Bumper Foam Tape (Tamiya 54430) is another great solution for protecting delicate elements like bumpers in car models.

Body Protection – Car Body Tapes
Car models, whether remote-controlled or static, require special tools for body protection during painting. In our offer, you will find special tapes and masking films dedicated to this purpose. Examples include:

  • 35mm Car Body Tape (Tamiya 54784) – A wide tape designed to protect car bodies from paint contamination.
  • Lexan Car Body Mesh Tape (Tamiya 54792) – A mesh tape that additionally reinforces the lexan body, protecting it from cracks and damage.

These specialized products ensure that even the most demanding car models are properly protected during painting.

How to choose the right masking tape?
Choosing the right tape or masking material depends on the type of model you are working on and the specifics of the painting. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right tools:

  • For large surfaces – When painting large, simple surfaces like aircraft hulls, car bodies, or ship sides, wide paper tapes that are easy to apply and protect against paint contamination work best.
  • For details and curved surfaces – If you're working on curved elements or intricate patterns, opt for flexible masking tapes or sheets that can be easily shaped.
  • For protecting delicate elements – For elements susceptible to damage, such as bumpers or delicate structural parts, choose foam or mesh tapes, which provide additional protection against mechanical damage.


Masking tapes and masking materials are essential tools that enable precise modeling work. At ATA World of Models and Toys, you will find a wide selection of tapes and films that will meet your expectations. With our products, you can achieve perfect edges, protect delicate elements, and perform painting at the highest level.
