Look good there and it reminds me of one of my why didn’t I do it moments. On a work trip and one the guys we worked with had some friends at NASA and said he could get some tickets to sit in the ‘grandstands to watch the launch a couple of days after we were due to leave. Why didn’t I just rearrange my travel plans!

Should have masked it off and practiced for a digi cam job on a shelf queen  . Stickerization looks jolly good from here Pete  . |

Well unfortunately the shuttle has met an untimely demise, I was just finishing off some paintwork and had masked the areas with tamiya tape. On finishing removing the tape actually ripped up the decals below. Yes I had sealed the decals with some satin varnish but somehow they still got damaged  With no way to repair said damage and my patience finally running out the model has been trashed!! Really peed off at the moment!! |

So sorry to hear this Pete. Something that happened in my hobby room...A year or 5 back in time I dropped a base with three freshly finished models (a 2cm Flak and 2 Anhänger 51). Be sure I can feel your frustration brotha. We as modellers experience these horrible situations.
This is not the first time Tamiya masking tape polls off paint from a model.
