Adhesive Masking Sheets 280 x 195 mm (5 pcs) — VALLEJO Ammo

VALLEJO Ammo adhesive masking sheets 280 x 195 mm (5 pcs) are thin, self-adhesive sheets designed to assist precision masking on scale models and miniatures. The sheets provide an easy way to protect small surfaces, windows, canopies and detailed panels from paint overspray and to achieve clean, sharp paint edges when airbrushing or hand-painting. Supplied in a pack of five, each sheet can be cut to size to match the contours and shapes of model parts.

Advantages

These adhesive masking sheets combine a low-tack adhesive with a flexible, thin backing that conforms to curved and complex surfaces without leaving residue when removed under normal conditions. The sheets are easy to cut with a hobby knife or scissors, allowing controlled masking of tiny areas and fine details. Their size provides coverage for multiple small components while remaining manageable for precise placement.

Suitable for

• Masking canopies and windows on aircraft and vehicle models
• Protecting small panels and instrument faces during painting
• Creating crisp edges with airbrush or spray paint on miniatures
• Temporary protection of detailed parts during assembly and finishing

How to use

Measure and cut the masking sheet to approximate size with a hobby knife or sharp scissors. Peel the backing and apply the sheet carefully, smoothing from the center outward to avoid bubbles and ensure full contact with the surface. Trim precisely around edges or openings using a sharp blade. After painting, remove the masking sheet slowly at a shallow angle to reduce the chance of lifting fresh paint. Replace or reposition pieces as needed for multi-stage painting.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the adhesive on a scrap area of the model to confirm compatibility, especially with delicate finishes or previously painted surfaces. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or high temperatures while masked, and wait for paints to be sufficiently dry before removing the sheets to prevent paint lifting.
