I'm in the middle of building Skif's T-64 BV, and I want to paint it with
the "aggressor" white cross markings used during Wargames in the late
1980's. I've narrowed down three different ways of doing it: first one is
use white decal strips. The next method is to paint white then mask with
proper sized masking tape then paint Russian tank green and the last one is
to mask the area and paint white over the green. I'm leaning towards the
decal method but this seems that this will be more trouble then its worth
with the complex detail thats all over the kit with the ERA bricks. I'm also
not to hot on the masking methods because I haven't had much luck esp. with
paint running under the masking tape or overspray going where its not
supposed to go while airbrushing. Anyone care to make any suggestions on
which one to use?

Thanks

Scott
