Default RE: Finishing for a TF GS P-51D

ORIGINAL: rlemaster

Hey guys, just thinking ahead here to when I start the final paint job on the wings and fuse and I'm wondering what type of
vinyl / masking you would recommend for the paint masking? I have the vinyl I've been using for the rivets, etc. but that stuff
leaves adhesive residue on like crazy. Obviously I want to use something that won't leave residue. It would be easiest also
to use something that is clear so I can more easily align it.

Thanks,
Russ
Have you tried Frisket Film for airbrushing? You can find this stuff at art stores in the airbrush department. There is low and high tack as well more clear and opaque films. It cuts very easy and keeps a nice edge on a clean surface. You can also cut it on the model with very little pressure and new #11 blade. I would try that and see if you like it.
