Thanks very much chaps, it's appreciated.
Got the black stripes done, although there was a little bleed here and there, even though I burnished the tape at the panel lines (should have sealed the edges with white paint first, but forgot, as it took ages to position the masks!).
A quick re-touch should do the trick, although I don't want the stripes to look 'factory applied'. They weren't as roughly applied as the wider 'D-Day' stripes from 6 years previously, but they were still temporary markings, and varied in their application and width.
All being well, I should get this done, and the gloss coat applied, later tonight, then move on to constructing the landing gear, prop etc, whilst the clear coat hardens.
Thanks again for the kind words.
