Accurate Masking for Rounded Details

When you need crisp separation on curved surfaces, the Tamiya 87178 Masking Tape for Curves helps you control paint edges. Its PVC composition conforms to contours to minimise wrinkling and tearing.

What Makes This Tape Useful

The 3mm size of the Tamiya 87178 is suited to intricate tasks and fine detailing. With 20 metres on the roll, you have enough length for several model builds while retaining a peelable adhesive that protects finishes.

Recommended Applications

  • Curved sections of RC car bodies and shells
  • Detailed stripe work and multi-element masks
  • Rounded sections on model aircraft and boats
It can stick to decals, but test a small corner first. Removing too soon after application can lift delicate decals.
At 3mm width you can create narrow stripes and tight detail. Pair with steady hands or guiding tools for the best results.
When used correctly on cured paint the risk is low, but avoid long-term contact and remove slowly to protect high gloss coats.
Work in short tape lengths and press edges down with a soft tool to follow curves. Overlap tiny sections rather than stretching to prevent distortion.
