    All clean and crisp so far.
    Like seeing how you mask the various areas. I've seen this yellow tape before. I assume it is specially for masking models. Does it stop paint from bleeding under it?

    Thanks Peter, large roll 49mm wide from my local auto paint shop, does a good job if pressed down properly, similar I guess to Tamiya but much cheaper ! ---------- a coat of gloss white on these now !
