Masking canopies can strike terror in scale modelers, but this tip makes even the most complicated canopies in any scale, not only easy to mask, but you can enjoy a tasty treat while doing it! See how easy it is to remove any residue left from chocolate foil masking: • Chocolate Foil Masking...
There's many options out there for masking scale model canopies to allow for airbrushing.
The most common method of masking canopies is to use a kabuki type masking tape. The downside is the tapes thickness. It makes it very difficult to see the canopy frame edges.

I use Bare Metal Foil to do this - it has an adhesive to adhere to the plastic though you still need to tamp it into place. Great video - thanks.
@TheEmptySprue
@TheEmptySprue 3 года назад
The problem with BMF is it leaves a sticky residue that requires cleaners to remove. The adhesive used on the chocolate foil is a food grade wax, so cleaning the canopy afterwards simply means buffing it with a soft, dry cloth. You can see a video about that right here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q4y37zx_W68.html

@TheEmptySprue
@TheEmptySprue 3 года назад
Im going to guess you have been trying the red wrappers? For some reason, some colors just dont work. The red wrapper is one of them. The foil should peel fairly easily and not have any color from the plastic on it. If when you peel the foil, its difficult and color from the plastic is on it, these will not work. The best and easiest to find are the blue wrapper

Very cool technique. Will this work as well on a Kitchen aluminum foil too 😛
@TheEmptySprue
@TheEmptySprue 5 лет назад
No, kitchen foil is much much thicker and does not have the waxy substance on it like the chocolate foil has, so there would be now way for it to stick.
@peterkealey5329
@peterkealey5329 3 года назад
I've successfully used kitchen foil with good results - just have to apply a coating of adhesive. It's many years since I did it though and I can't remember what adhesive I used. You can probably find videos on the internet.

Ok can you tell me what type of chocolate candy wrappers work best... thanks
@TheEmptySprue
@TheEmptySprue 4 года назад
Lindt Lindor chocolate truffles. Each color wrapper is a different flavor of chocoloate. A few dont work for some strange reason, but most do. I have the best luck with the blue (milk chocolate?) or the black (dark chocolate) wrappers.

I'm just curious. How do you get the candy foil to stick to the canopy? I'm guessing I missed that part. Also, Hersheys kisses have a thin foil as well.
@TheEmptySprue
@TheEmptySprue Год назад
This particular chocolate uses what I'm guessing is a food grade wax to adhere the foil to the plastic wrapper (Hershey kisses dont have a plastic wrapper, therefore no wax adhesive) This waxy side is the side that sticks to the canopy. To remove the foil easily, hold it up to a warm light for 15 seconds or so.

Your welcome! If when you peel the foil from the plastic, if there is color on the foil from the plastic, the foil wont stick. Youll notice the difference once you get a different color. Most all the colors work, but the red just doesnt, its weird. Let me know how it works out for you Matt!
