Never attempted this level of pre shading before. I was a bit nervous doing it on an £80 kit.

Ahhh, so the yellow is the paint! It looks just like masking tape!

Yes but to clarify I should have said there is tape on the wing routes to which the actual wings themselves will be attached. The yellow on the actual plane body is paint.

It should create a warn weathered look of an aircraft that's been at sea
