Joey21 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hey all, I'm looking to purchase Tamiya's FW14b as my next build. I was just curious if the kit comes with paint masks to paint the body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activexp Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'm in the process of building one, everything except paint masks. You'll need plenty of masking tape for this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Most of the paint demarcation is covered by decals, particularly the white to blue. I photocopied the decals and used that as a template for masking. Cheers, Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I recommend tamiya masking sheets, they come in slightly bigger than a5 sheets and you can draw on them and cut them to what ever shape you need Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey21 Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Which Tamiya spray colors match the yellow and blue best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Tamiya french blue is good not sure on the yellow though, maybe camel yellow or chrome yellow spray is good Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activexp Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Which Tamiya spray colors match the yellow and blue best? TS-44 Brilliant Blue, matches with the decals, and TS-34 Camel Yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey21 Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Are both of those a little too "sky blue?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activexp Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 TS-44 is spot on and as per instructions for the kit, the same shade as the blue decals and the moulded nose. French blue may be a different non-matching shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 You could always get the Zero paints set from Hiroboy, ready thinned and perfectly matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve86 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Zero paints was the way to go with my Hasegawa 1/24 F14B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
