Masking complex camouflage can be difficult. But I’ve discovered a technique which is easy and almost foolproof.After airbrushing the first color, I use thin rolls of sticky tack (such as Blu-Tack) to outline the color separations, laying this “spaghetti” on the surface of the model and pressing just hard enough for it to stick. Then I take thin, clear plastic, such as the side of a sandwich bag, and stick it on the tack noodles. Using a sharp knife, I cut the foil along the middle of the sticky tack, removing the sections to be painted. Because of the plastic’s transparency, it is easy to cut exact shapes.
