We always show things that go good.. but how about when things go wrong.. It was fine until I removed the masking tape... Will have to either strip it's paint.. or see if I can fix that white stripe...

Oh yes the dreaded bleeding . Bert did you go over the masking tape with white, before you used the blue? This needs to be done every time you mask the first colour. I.e. when the first colour is white, mask off, and then spray white over it again. Make sure you cover the edges real good. The second coat of white will seal the masking and stop or cut the bleeding down to a minimum. When dry you spray the main colour straight over.

I didnt't do that on this one, didn't want to "fill" the airbrush with just that one drop of white it would take to seal the tape... my own fault.. did seal the stripes on the B17 though, didn't want to make the same mistake twice 😁

Top tip Paul, I do that too by spraying on satin clear to seal the edges.

Nothing that can't be corrected Bert. You can mask the blue and spray on the blue, and then the white.

The other way of doing it is to apply a thin dry coat with the AB at 90 degrees to the surface, wait a minute for it to flash off then build up the colour, only the last pass is a wet coat. This is my favourite method as it saves mixing two colours, I did it on the Hurricane camo.
You can save that Bert, careful masking and repaint the white. It'll work as you have a white base already. I'd use Tamiya for that.

These things happen.
I’d use a brush and gradually cover the blue leakage.
With VMS clean slate you can always start again. No harm done!
