BobH Posted August 29, 2023 Report Posted August 29, 2023 Doers anyone know if E_Z Masks has gone out of business? I've been to their website Sunday and yesterday and get a website not found message.
66Foxtrot Posted August 30, 2023 Report Posted August 30, 2023 I don’t know, but Omask has a nice selection of masks. www.omask.cz
ghodges Posted August 30, 2023 Report Posted August 30, 2023 I can't find any "news" about it one way or the other.... but the web site being gone seems to point to its closing down. I know my dad, who ordered from them some 5yrs ago, spoke to the gentleman who ran EZ Masks and gave him the impression that it was a small "mom/pop" hobby business. It's quite possible that he's retired, or quit making them due to overwhelming competition from Eduard and other higher profile masks. If so, it's a shame as I liked his vinyl masks and the fact you got two sets for your money. The good news is that if you Google whatever exact mask you may need, chances are it's made by someone else. I can say that I've had very good results from the Eduard "kabuki" masks, whether they were pre-cut (as most are), or even the ones that you have to cut out yourself. Best of luck! Gil
BobH Posted September 1, 2023 Author Report Posted September 1, 2023 Thanks for the tips, I was looking for a mask for a 1/48 F5F Skyrocket, which I knew they made. I'm not sure if I'll be able to find one somewhere else.
ghodges Posted September 2, 2023 Report Posted September 2, 2023 Short of finding them for sale on Ebay (and I failed on an initial search too) I'd suggest putting out a "looking to buy" post on a couple of very popular Face Book pages: Scale Aircraft Modeling with Detail and Scale (Detail and Scale publications FB page) Barracuda Studios Ready Room (Barracuda resin parts FB page) Both have a lot of aircraft builders on them and perhaps one of them has that 2nd set that comes in the EZ Mask set left over from their own Skyrocket build.
