Hi Nino,

When you are preparing for painting, do you lay down the frisket film first and then use the modelling tape for the edges ?

Depends on the area. If it is a straight line, I will use wide 18mm tape. If it is slightly curved I will use 10mm. A curve would be 6 mm. I'm using a new Tamiya tape that is 3 mm for steep curves with mixed results.

Frisket is used for areas I cannot use tape. I lay down the frisket and then using a scalpel, cut out the pattern I want to paint.

First choice is always tape, as it never bleeds. Frisket can be tricky using an airbrush as it can raise during painting.
