The line between colours. Every two-tone scheme, canopy frame and camouflage edge is only as sharp as the tape that drew it, and SMS's masking tape is built for the job's two dangers: a strong, durable tape that limits bleeding under the paint edge, and — just as important on a model — won't lift the paint beneath it when the reveal comes. This is the 15mm × 10m single roll refill: the standard width for general masking work, from the Australian brand whose lacquers it was made to partner.

Applied Correctly

SMS's own parenthetical deserves unpacking, because technique is half the tape: press the critical edge down firmly (a burnishing pass with a soft tool or fingernail along the paint line), paint away from the edge rather than into it, and remove the tape while pulling it back on itself at a low angle — promptly after the paint is touch-dry rather than days later. Do that, and the two promises hold: crisp lines, intact paint. Refill roll only — no dispenser included; the MASK05 (15mm × 50m) is the same tape for benches that go through it.
