Lovely bit of work with the hard edged camo there. It’s always squeaky bum time when you start to peel the tape off.

Cheers Jase ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . And yes how true that is with the squeaky bum, but the masking from Gaspatch is very low tack. The only problem I had was getting the stuff to stick to the curves, wing leading edges and the cowling ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Certainly better Jase, except for curved areas like I said. But you can't buy it as sheets or rolls, you can only get pre-cut masking sheets specially for the Gaspatch aircraft range. I have however, managed to save about 95% of the sheet after the painting session, this I shall use on my E-10 and (hopefully) the E-50 tanks I have.

Bit of a shame so looks like I’ll be sticking to my old faithful for now.

Jase that is a shame, but I'll keep looking out for the stuff and let you know when I find it or something similar ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Phil, very kind of thee ole chap Ian, tar very much mucker ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Today I decided to risk masking and spraying the black round markings on the aircraft ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . It worked, and next I might consider spraying the white crosses on the upper wings ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) . ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49846373792_0c18c2734b_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49845532958_fff1e04c85_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49846071821_07a5d879be_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49846374902_e330029303_c.jpg)

I do like the look of AB’ed ‘decals’ unfortunately there’s also a lot more scope for everything to go horribly wrong. No pressure for the crosses of course.

Jase, it's a risk worth taking ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . I have a very high trust in the Vallejo paints too ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Chris, cheers my friend ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Not sure exactly why. The edges aren’t so exact, the thickness, the lack of backing film?
