Really nice choice for a light drop ship & I love the paint scheme.

Coming along a treat!!
I see the red paint bled under the tape a little - although rather than detract from the final result, it adds a great level of weathering.
I vaguely remember seeing an online tutorial somewhere, in which the guy sprayed a coat of varnish over the tape before applying paint, to somewhat seal any gaps. Not sure if this works, as I haven't tried it. I tend to use a Tamiya low tac masking tape and a rubber shaper (paint brush with a rubber tip rather than bristles) to ensure the tape is firmly attached to the surface - do need to make sure the paint underneath is properly dry though. How runny or how thick the overspray is also makes a huge difference. Are you airbrushing the red on or using a paintbrush?

Thanks! Yeah, I sprayed it with grey primer first, and then used a brush to paint the red on. I did that so I would get a little bleed under it to give it a bit of a weathered look.
That's interesting way to seal in the tape... I'll keep that in mind next time I want to do a clean masking.
