Some progress to report, not much but a liminal moment...

Yes, masks are on... The wheel masks fit perfectly, but the compound curves of that unique canopy rather defeated Eduard's computer. The fit of the canopy pieces was poor and had to be tidied up with strips of tape, exactly as if I wasn't using masks... Which I could have done weeks ago. Hey ho, I'd still have needed the wheel masks.
Next step, spray the canopy interior gray, which as it's the same gray as all the interior bits really prompts me to open the second kit and prespray all the parts at the same time...
The intakes are a pest, I can see no way to protect the aluminium engine areas and spray the intake cutaways as part of the camo scheme. I'm considering painting them either grey or aluminium... or brush painting them. Anyone have any insights into techniques for that area in this scale???
