I recently bought a magazine called "Scale Aviation Modeler" and found a nice article on painting a TBD Devastator kit. Nice read. I scanned in some pics as I got a little confused about some pointers. I scanned the images in to show.

First of all i was quite interested o what kind of masking tape (bottom right pic) this person has used to mask off the inner wing area. It looks more heavy duty than the regular tape. I guess it's heavier as it stops paint flowing underneath. He also used it for the canopy (sorry no pic) and used tiny stripps like on swannies site.
Secondly ..keep that link open

when spraying the underneath side of the model how do stop the paint seeping over to the top side. I know he masks it off. Does it look like he's masked off a neat line on the leading edge or does he use the natural angle to feather the paint over to the top side. (bottom left photo)
you can clearly see the merge line in this photo

hope you can help me out
I thought the weathering was great, nice idea using a pastel and a brush to give it that edge.
