I tried Fast Frames ONCE, and decided that they weren't for me. To me
there was something about them that didn't look right. They fit well
enough for the most part, but maybe they stood just a little too
"proud" or something. If it were me, I'd go for the EZ masks. If you
don't want to shell out the money for EZ masks, get your self some
Parafilm-M or Bare Metal Foil and a NEW #11 blade and carefully trim
around the frame(s).
This is all just MHO… |

What does BMF have that the masks don't?

it's almost free and fairly easy to get good at doing. |

You make it fit no matter which kit frames you're doing. If you have masks
for a Tamiya, they may not fit just right on any other brand. I'm not saying
someone would purposly get Tamigawa masks if they had the Mono kit
but.........With BMF it doesn't matter which brand kit you have!
BMF burnishes down very well, following just about ANY compound curves (I've
used it for auto bumpers as well). I use balsa stubs and toothpicks to
burnish it down along the edges and get into the corners. You don't have to
worry about the middle.
Lightly dragging a new #11 blade along the frame edge (maybe 2-3 times if
needed) cuts right through the foil. A little burnish touch up and you're
ready to paint. A light flick of the blade tip lifts the foil's edge for
easy removal. IF any kind of residue gets left behind, dabbing it with
masking tape picks it right up!
I know some builders might swear by pre-made masks, not me But then foiling
is my favorite part of auto modeling; which doesn't make sense because I
hate applying decals on anything :-)
