Okay, here's some "steps" shots.
I leave some around the edges to wrap around to seal.
1. is my Corel worksheet, 3 views at kit scale.
I had to fake all but Port side, no actual photos!
2. I cut the piece to be covered for the next color.
3. some tape on my glass, trace the covered part.
4. having trimmed the tape lining up the wing tip.
5. another piece to cover, same same, the mak is a panel line of the wing.
6. lined up the mark with the panel line.
7. what my printed sheet looks like After cut outs are done.
Thennnnnnnn, she is painted.

Looking great. But why the Dark Green/Dark Earth on tops? IMHO it should be the The Ocean Grey/Dark Green and the Medium Sea Grey on undersides. The yellow could be at the bottom as well. But I bet the MSG though.

Is there a way to post this post (just this one on how to mask) to the model "how to's"?
