I was wondering when in the building process do you paint the flat black around the front of the HUD and the cockpit edges on modern fighters?
I have painted my F-15E in Gunship Gray, coated it with Future, and have started applying the decals but I realized that I am going to have to mask around the edges of the cockpit to airbrush the flat black as it hasn't been painted yet. I figured it would be safer to do it now before I put any decals in that area as I don't want an accident in having the masking tape pulling up the decals in that area, which is always a possibility even with Future protecting them. What method do you guys use?
Thanks
Mike
