....... what is the best way to go when painting and masking the fuselage stripes and codes??
Looking good old boy, and both methods for the stripes are equally effective - depends on personal choice. But, as you're doing a 198 Sqn machine, you won't have the problem of masking the areas where the code letters go - they were painted over, hence the small 'repeater' letters on fin and nose! (Who hasn't read all the stuff I sent him then?!!)
Personally, I'd avoid the decals for the black stripes. Apart from being a pain to align and settle correctly, they'll look too neat. A little 'rough at the edges but not too much' appearance is what you ought to aim for, and even painting freehand, without masks, should give a good result. Use a paintbrush of course, not the squirty air thingy!
