Default Re: Masking Tape Help

tamiya tape or 3m blue is a good bet. I normally use tamiya to do the line then the 3m to do general masking. With a airbrush or rattle can you NEED to mask EVERYTHING near where you are working. Plan you tape to use the least, light colours first, then wait a few days then mask. The paint Must be fully dry before masking ( I find at least 48 hours in a 20 degree room, longer if its cooler) not touch dry. Then mask for the next colour and so on. I learnt all of this from doing camouflage 1:48 aircraft before learning a few cheats with solid masks for non sharp lines.
