I've been busy masking and painting over the last week and finished it today. Here is the sequence of the painting

White sprayed at the invasion stripe locations

Masking for the 18" black stripes using a digital caliper. It works out to .25 or 1/4 inch in 1/72nd scale.

Black stripes unmasked. Somewhere along here I masked off and sprayed the sky for the little bit of the fuselage band that is still visible at the aft end of the Invasion stripes

The ocean gray has been painted and the masking for the dark green put on. It's a combination of paper masks made from a print-out of the camo pattern and masking tape.
