The moment of truth

I’m sure most of you have this nervous feeling when peeling off the masking tape.
Will the paint go under the tape ruining my paint job? In that case.. How I’m going to fix it this time?
Stripping all the paint and starting over?
Repainting on top?
Maybe sanding it down?
Will rubbing alcohol make it worse?
… Will I give up this time?

Fortunately the process went smooth and the tape worked well. Yeeeei! 😁

I've also added a grille to the bumper. In the last photo you can see the radiator behind it.

    Your text really captured my thoughts while I was unmasking my wings 🤔 But “starting over” wouldn't have been an option in the time frame of this contest!

      @bughunter I'm sorry I wortied you 😅. This happens to me every single time. Actually I already had to start over the paint job of the whole body few weeks ago. I hope everything goes with no surprises for the rest of the process 💪🏻 You made an excellent masking job in your wings 😍

    @gekoch Hi! I took the grill net from the remainings of one of my previous kits. It could be either Tamiya or Aoshima.

    @powercube Thank you very much! It is also very important to use a good quality masking tape, otherwise the gambling is higher 😆
