    The clue of this build. Invasion stripes. First time I will make it. I’m not sure that I mask it enaught perfect. In undersurfaces of fuselage I need to make seam of masking tapes. I use elastic tape for makeing camouflage patterns but this tape are not too elastic that I thought.

    How did You make Your invasion stripes?

    I don’t like my work. I give second coat of white, then polished, and final third coat of flat white. And I need to think how change masking on undersurfaces to be more precised. So more of the evening was waisting my modelers time.

    Your approach is correct, my friend @lis. The result is very good too. Also, in reality, the invasion stripes were not precisely applied, many times just by hand and with brushes, so you could see many imperfections.

    As said by Spiros @fiveten, in real they were not perfect either.
