It's essential to use Tamiya masking tape which is not paper based and it's flexible so will go around curved edges without wrinkling and afterwards comes off clean leaving no sticky residue. The tricky bits are the rounded corners, there I use several short pieces of tape. It is very expensive though and is only available from model shops.

Hi Howard, thanks, I did wonder if you'd used a primer but it seems not. I like the tip about the flexible Tamiya masking tape. I must get myself some!
