      Well as I have said in the "painting" section (more chance of more people seeing it I thought) I have resolved the problem with good old Tamiya masking tape. I just removed all but the last of the sticky, put it on and cut it with a new scalpel blade. Not the easiest stuff to see through, but It was good enough. A few touch-ups with the hairy stick after and it now looks like this.....

      As per the norm looking at it 6X bigger on the screen, I can see it could of been better, but it's a lot better than it was.

      Thanks for the tips, some of those will be getting tried some time.

      Well I am getting there. Now I have to start thinking of how to build that drag chute.

      Next phase will be the nose cheeks and hips!

      WOW Ian, looks great. But how are your eyes, are they still straight or crossed?

      Have fun, John

      LOL Trust me these went on in half hour sessions! Things did go a bit tits up towards the end, some of the decals refused to be found, some just could not be there. So it's not 100% accurate!!!
      Pleased to say that I got the last of the decals on today and once they have had a chance to dry, its time for a top coat. Being a newly painted machine on her first run (and last :-( ) she was still very clean and bright as a new penny, so gloss coat and no weathering.
      Just need to put the legs on along with the tailerons and speed breakes.
      Then I need a run way and a drag chute.....

      More later. I have a hedge that needs cutting!!!! :-(
