I HAVE DONE 2 SHIP MODELS TO DATE, REVELLS MISSOURI AND SHARNHORST. AND USED PAINTERS TAPE AND SCOTCH TAPE AND BECAUSE THEY DIDNT SEAL WELL HAD ISSUES W PAINTING BLACK BOOT STRAP ON THESE SHIPS WITH CONSTANT TOUCH UPS AND F UPS AFTER THE TOUCH UPS. WELL WELL I USED THIS PRODUCT ON TAMIYAS THE SULLIVANS DD573 FOR THE BOOT STRAP AND TO ALSO CREATE BLUE/GRAY PAIN SCHEME WICH STARTS WITH A BIT OF AN ANGLE. THIS PRODUCT SERVED WELL. IT MAY HAVE BEEN BECAUSE IT WAS A SMALLER SHIP EVEN THOUGH IT WAS 1/350 WAS STILL A DD AND SMALLER THEN A BB. ALSO THE LOWER HULL WAS A SEPPARATE PIECE AND GAVE YOU CHOICE OF WATERLINE OR FULL HULL WHICH I CHOSE. IT TOOK ME SOME TIME TAPING UP BOOTLINE TAPING. BUT GOT IT AND CAME OUT PERFECTLY. DEFINITE MUST HAVE IF YOUR PAINTING SHIP LINES
