Hi Dave,

The camo looks superb

I see tape for the straight line stuff, how did you mask for the curvy camo pattern?

I used blue tack but the model becomes damn heavy especialy after masking off the second color. Another problem is the blue tack really does not want to come off and you manhandle the model a lot leading to scrathes in the paint. I have been thinking of a way to rather do it with cheap masking tape I even went and baught a sharp nose small set of scissors for my next one as I want to do quite a few Vietnam era planes in the near future. The whole war is totaly facinating to me.
