Behind the Scenes with KitMasx: Saving Modelers Time and Frustration

from Plastic Model Mojo · host A Scale Modeling Podcast

When Kevin Hedrich noticed a serious gap in the modeling market, he knew exactly what to do. "Manually masking canopies sucks," he explains bluntly, "and somebody had to step in to save those countless kits from the shelf of doom." That's how KitMasx was born—a specialized business creating precision-cut canopy masks for scale model aircraft.What makes KitMasx unique in the modeling world isn't just their quality products, but their focus on overlooked kits. While many manufacturers rush to create masks for the latest releases, Kevin and his wife Janelle concentrate on producing solutions for older, discontinued, and neglected models that might otherwise never receive proper masking options. With over 400 sets available and more being added regularly based on customer requests, they're breathing new life into forgotten kits sitting in modelers' stashes.The couple's passion for serving the modeling community shines through in everything they do. Kevin personally cuts and tests every mask set multiple times for quality assurance, while Janelle manages customer relations with warmth and efficiency. "Canopies are the first thing you notice on an aircraft model," Kevin reminds us. "If the lines aren't clean, it detracts from the whole model." This attention to detail has earned them devoted customers who appreciate both their products and their exceptional service. Ready to transform your next build?
