Default RE: Skymaster F-15 contruction

Wing leading edge is being painted in Pewter metallic. It looks quite stunning in the sunlight!

I've discovered today that the 3M plastic fine line tape I've been masking with is a bit too sticky to use over my paint, you can see in the photos were it lifted some of the orange as I pulled the tape off. I'm going to switch to the medium-low adhesion 3M painters tape in these areas. This wing will have to be resprayed.
