Hi Ken. Cocktail sticks do not work for me but doing in between the windows it's fine as the gap is wider, but to do between the bottom off the windows it's not small enough the detail is so fine it blobs out over every thing else, and not where i want it to go when i only touch the black paint with the point of the cocktail stick and paint the part i want to paint. :P :D
just gluing the back on to the rest off the ship can not be bothered to paint the details to fine should of not got mum to buy this size ship about 3-4 years ago as a early Christmas / birthday present being 1/225 scale it's a joke to paint that small hurts my eyes to concentrate on it
