What happened to the development of modeling skills when we either made our own masks, used a circle template or just plain painted the wheels?

Wheels are one thing (I find it way easier to hand-paint or circle-template them), but canopies are a different matter. I for one will gladly pay for pieces of tape laser-cut to match the canopy rather than slave away for hours with tiny pieces of tape.

Masking canopies is up there among my least-enjoyed parts of modeling. If a few bucks will cut the pain to 1/5 the time, I'll gladly pay it and move on to the fun stuff.

+1  My thoughts exactly. EZ Masks made a believer out of me.

I used a canopy mask once for a Tamiya Dornier Arrow kit. I found the stiffness of the vinyl didn't want to stay down on the really curved windscreen. Tape would have worked better for that particular part. But for the rest of the canopy, it was nice.

ajlafleche - That went out the window w/ my eyesight. My vision isnt that bad, but when i tape it off, i can't see where to cut it.

Tex gunner- Thanks, ezmasks is new to me

ACESES5- Thanks for the info. One would think they'd be the same, but what do i know? LOL

Have you checked with Chris Loney of EZ Masks?  He may have the masks for the Monogram kit.  He offers  a lot of different masks.

I've have done that also they may not fit perfect but you can put the mask on then trim to fit.            ACESES5
