I hope so Trey! I'm using rattle can car paints and they do tend to spread paint everywhere and really do stick to plastic. I'll have some interesting things to say if they bleed under the masking!\ said:Just caught up with this Dave it looks great,nice tight looking mask job!
Looking good Gern, are the Phantom's base paint is white for this particular one?\ said:I hope so Trey!

I'll have some interesting things to say if they bleed under the masking!A while to go though before that as I want to get all the assembly finished before I paint. With such a simple paint job - white primer all over, mask underneath then light grey on top - that seems to me to be the best way to go.

Yeah. Sure.\ said:With such a simple paint job -
Dave I would use white tacGern said:Yeah. Sure.Except I forgot about the weapons pylons. I gotta fix those before I paint so I can tidy up all the joints and seams - but they've already been decalled! Normally I'd cover the decals with bits of foil or similar, then fix the foil to the surface with masking tape round the edges. I wrapped a bit of polythene around the nose of the fuel tank so that's no problem:

But on the pylons, the decals are so close to the edges and space is so restricted I can't do that.
Any idea how I can mask the decals while spraying - and then remove the masking without also removing the decals? They've already been sealed with Humbrol Matt spray varnish but I don't know if this would be strong enough to protect them from any masking adhesive.
