My second paint project - HG Aile Strike (lemmy.zip)

I learned quite a bit after painting my first project, and this one ended up turning out much better. The main lessons were to paint in layers and the masking tape from Hobby Lobby sucks. I painted everything but the white armor.

I really like 3M green automotive masking tape

I use Tamiya now, which works well. I've seen others say 3M is good, too.
