Harrison, just do the masking a little at a time, maybe 2 or 3 windows at a sitting so you don't get burned out. You'll be surprised how fast it gets done

I agree - take it steady, with plenty of breaks in between sessions, and before you know it, it'll be done. Three hours masking, three minutes painting - a b@ll ache, but worth it!

Thanks gents!

The canopy came out alright, need to touch up a few things but my main concern (getting the line between dark green and light blue) went well

Coming along nicely B-17. If you're not happy with the paint removal, maybe think about removing the offending panels as in the last two photos in post #624.

Looking good H. A clean-up of the edges with a cocktail stick dipped in thinners, and maybe a coat of Future to make it look clearer, and you're sorted.
