Still like my Tamiya, but it will be nice to have other sizes.

1mm? Heck yeah.

It would be nice to see a .75 and .5mm masking tape. I go through a lot of it when painting a 1/350 ship deck.

Johnathan, best I can tell from playing with them, they are very similar (if not the same...as I have no idea if these are private labeled to Vallejo). The "sticky" response is almost spot on.

Mark....I hear you my friend! Tough bid with those sizes though! Maybe some day! I have had some luck using a Balsa cutter with tape on the edge of my cutting mat to slice some consistent lengths. Just a thought.

Usually cheaper at HLJ - but out of stock at moment. I use this brand a lot - seems exactly the same as the Tamiya tape but available in lots of small sizes.
