Saw something on my wife's workbench and it gave me an idea, so I tried it and it worked great. I masked the edges of the fuselage halves with liquid frisket film (applied with a toothpick as this stuff is almost impossible to clean from a brush) prior to doing any painting on the fuselage interior walls. It was a snap to apply a bead that ran only across the surfaces that are to be joined and nowhere else, and when painting was done, I simply peeled it off and was left with nice clean edges that could easily be joined with liquid cement. It was much faster to apply than masking tape, is so easy to apply because of its initial consistancy (as thin as water), dries quickly, is just as easy to remove, and IMO did a better masking job than tape or rubber cement could. I imagine that most craft stores would carry the stuff.
