How do you do it?

  You'll probably find that each modeler has a different approach to this bit.  Personally, I have always liked to do the paint step by step in subassemblies, since trying to mask off  1/350 details is a royal pain.

I kinda figured that would be the way to go about it, too much to try and get to otherwise. All in all with a catch 22 question like this I bet whichever way a fella goes about it it still takes the same ammount of time.

 One note on masking though, using the liquid latex mask from Woodland Scenics does a fantastic job of masking in my past experience. Spray, Mask,Spray,Peel kinda all there is to it.
