Excellent work so far. I like it very much.
My biggest build is the 1/32 He-111.
How do you cut the perfect circle for masking ?

I have a cutting compass. Instead of a drawing pencil, there is a cutting blade. It will cut circles up to about 6 inches across at the largest. In the upper part of the picture is copies of the original decal sheet. I mark the center of one and use it as a master for the circle size, then transfer to the masking tape on a cutting mat and VIOLA....

She looks so forlorn just hanging there...waiting.
But the wait is pretty much over and work should start anew to finish this project.
