I have no excuse, I just have a case of jitters to do this right. So then I talked to myself and said "well, c'mon, you've taped and painted dozens of planes, why are you chicken about this one?"

It boils down to having been bitten a couple of times already, I am reluctant to risk F#$%ing it up again. Well, it's showtime, gotta move on, risk or not. So I have masked things off tonight, and will spray tomorrow. Wing needs white, and I will use the white to seal the masking of the fuse, too. Here's some progress photos.
