Really excellent paint work. I always struggle with painting canopies. Did you use a mask set or just mask it your self? Very nice model. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks Tom.
I use Tamiya tape and cut in into thin stripes to manually mask the canopies for airbrush. I normally build kits out of box.

Okay. I often use blue tape and do the same in 1/72 scale. The Tamyia tape seems a bit stiff for smaller scales, but I will try it on one of my future 1/32 builds.
Again nice work. The Hien has always been a favorite...

I find that Tamiya tape work very well for masking canopy. I've used it exclusively for this job from 1/72 to 1/32 model.
