| Did you get any tissue wrinkling when you painted the model? It's hard to tell from this picture. Just curious how well the dope technique worked for you. |

| I got almost no wrinkling. "Almost" because on the bottom of the tail things were really tight. If I had done a more careful job putting on the tissue there it would have come out better. Certainly the dope technique you told me about was a winner. |

| I have completed the three coats of aluminum. I am going to mask the nose in front of the pilot. For anyone who has masked their planes, what worked best? I was thinking of that green tape but I want to prevent paint leakage AND having the masking damage the parts I cover. Any suggestions?? |

| Tamiya masking tape. |

| I use regular blue painters tape, but I stick it to my Tee-shirt first to put a little fuzz on it and reduce the stickiness. However, Tamiya tape works great too. |

| My local hobby shop is open 3 days a week for 5 hours so I should be able to get the Tamiya tape Thanks very much. |

| I've used both. Be sure the paint is cures. I've pulled paint off with both of them. I have to try Ed's idea. makes sense.
