Thanks, this is easy when I use very thin paper to transfer the image to. I've learned about getting the wing roots protected better by cutting the masks to make them lie down more in the angled area.
The most interesting thing about this paint job is that my ModelMaster paint requires the Dark Earth to go on first, then the Middlestone. was always of the opinion you should paint light first, then dark, but this Testors new formula paint works better the other way 'round. I may try this with the standard grey/green scheme on a Spitfire soon.
