So much any things!  On the Sabre to the right. Is the glare shield paint be applied un-masked then masked over to paint the larger color areas of the fuselage? It seems to be a logical and neater way to sequence the paint.

I will be adding silver finish. Silver does not mask well.

That's good to know. Thanks.
