Occasional ev!ilbay snap: a complete late boxing Matchbox Percival Provost for EUR 11,-, which is O.K.-ish.

I read one of the Special Offers e-mails from Hannants, noticed I could save about £1.20 on a mask set I needed, and ended up spending £15 on the website... 

All KV Models mask sets:

2 x 1/72nd scale Italeri/Revell UH-1N/AB-212/AB-412/CH-146 Griffon
2 x 1/144th scale Revell Space Shuttle Atlantis
1 x 1/72nd scale Italeri/Tamiya Bell 206 Jet Ranger/OH-58 Kiowa
1 x 1/72nd scale A-model CMC Leopard-1 & 2 (this was the one I saved some money on!)

Be aware, these masks will leave glue residue on the clear parts. I've recently used the same set you bought for the Italeri Kiowa and while they fit perfectly, there were some negative aspects like the glue residue and the fact that some bits like the ones for the nose bottom windows do require a bit of stretching and curving to get the masks to fit properly. And if you happen to stick them on and pull them back to adjust the placement a few times, the edges begin peeling off because the glue is already stuck on the clear part so make sure the edges are well pressed in. They're not expensive but the time i saved making my own masks was spent handling and cleaning a small and very fragile finished model...

Okay, cheers for the heads-up. I'm pretty sure I've used KV masks before and not had a problem, but I'll watch out for it.

Well, if you've used them before, you surely know them better than me so, i hope that what happened to me was a one-off because i've already bought a few of their sets. Just occurred to me that it may have been an issue caused by the extreme heat we had around here for the past 3-4 weeks. Anyway, i was disappointed but i'll give them another chance.

Heat will affect most low-tack adhesives and so will humidity.

Just tell her that you could of bought the resin version, but waited for when an IM came out

And then you explain just how much money you actually saved by waiting patiently for the IM version 😁.  What a thoughtful chap you are ❤️
