Tamiya included a nice set of masks to get the scheme done correctly. A set which is used for the orange color and one for the red color. It is a pity though that the masks are not pre-cutted. Not that easy to get those curves cut out perfectly, not even with a fresh X-acto blade.

I think the work involved in cutting out those masks will be worth it in the end, @johnb.

@gblair, indeed, George. It will indeed be a lot of work and I'm a bit nervous to get it done nicely.

@chinesegeorge, it will be helpful for sure, George. Tamiya could have made it a bit easier by pre-cutting those masks.

@fiveten, thank you, Spiros.

It’s going to look great, @johnb.

Nicely prepared, my friend @johnb! Looking forward to see them painted!

Almost done with the orange color, various layers are applied. Not entirely happy with it because more dust particles are present than I was hoping for.

Looks great from here, my friend @johnb!
