I am going to make a prediction here. I bet your modelling mentor will ask for pictures of your markings when he get on-line

OK. Harry I hope you have penciled these borderlines.
If yes...prepare some the Mid Stone paint and fill these spots that have to be of the colour.Remember that if there are edges ( wings, fin, rudder etc...) you should paint from the middle of the areas to their edges.
Start with the starboard wing. You can hold the model with your hand keeping the model "nose". There is one small spot of the Mid Stone only and you can paint this as the last area.If you apply the paint a little bit outside these borderlines.Don't worry about it. You will correct it with the Earth Brown. However try to do it as exactly as you can. Of course you can paint on these masks.

Right! Just use enamel, no white added to the Mid stone?
You can add a drop or two if you are going to prepare quite big amount of that. If not, don't add.. But mix it carefully.
Harry I have to go bed tonight.Tomorrow I'm going to work. So paint all these Mid Stone areas and put the model away.Let the paint get dry.We will be continued the day after tomorrow when I get back. OK?

All is fine Harry. Don't worry.
BTW...Don't remove these masks untill the paint work on the whole model can be finished. When painting , use these profiles you have as a refference. Simply check every spot to be sure you painted the correct one.
Sleep well.

Wojtek, how are you?
I have much work to do today. That is why I was pressing to move forward because almost the rest of the week I have very little time. I was expecting a bunch of work since break for X-mas is soon...
I should be on soon...

G'day H, I take it your talking of end of year school work. Do you have end of year tests and loads of work to take home to do during the holiday. How long is your Christmas holiday?
