Default RE: covering the fuselage question

Thanks guys. Ihave seen the video and it looks great and all. I guess I am making a mountain out of a mole hill but I dont want to cover the entire fuselage with one color then add detail.

Here is what I am after.

1. I know you cover the bottom half of the fuse first. I am thinking black here. This is the "easy" part.

2. Then I do the top half. I am thinking a pearl orange/copper.

3. when getting the 2 colors to meet from the nose to the tail I want as crisp (straight) line as possible.

Due to shrinkage etc how do you guys get the line to stay straight or what method do you use? I can foresee ironing an excessive amount past the split line and then cutting to fit.

Looking for a better way.

Anyway as I said maybe I am making this too big a deal.

Thanks again.
