I was going to try the suggested method of using 1mm wide masking tape but as I have had some problems in getting hold of the stuff without buying a load of additional tape I did not want. I first tried using cut down masking tape that I had but the results where not good.Painting the vertical strips was not an option for me. After some pondering I remembered that some of the 5 X 1 X 30 mm strips supplied in a previous issue where in fact two .5mm pieces glued together.(Some separated when I was soaking to bend them) So I tried this Cut 1mm strips from the lengths and soak them for a while, it will then be easy to separate then and you end up with lengths of 1 X .5 mm strips Paint these yellow ochre and attatch to the windows to create the vertical window frames. Easier to handle then tape and gives some depth to the vertical window frames Will add pictures when I have completed this step Current Build:- [color=blue]Stash Avro Lancaster (Full Kit)plus some extra issues I picked up at a good price [color=blue]Built:- Norman Catapult by Mantua,Roman Catapult by Mantua,HMS Victory,HMS Victory XSection,Focker DB1,Bismark,English Carronade Titanic Lifeboat,American Civil War Gatling,Hummer,Sopwith Camel F1,Occre Jupiter ,OcCre Wagon, Latina Arab Dhow, Eaglemass Orrery OcCre Rogers 119 [color=red][color=red]RB7,OcCre Missippi River Boat, Model Airways Fokker DR1 OcCre London L>C>C 106 Ugears Scrambler, Ugears Hexapod Explorer UGears Off-Road Vehicle

hi gil,if you check my build you will see a similar method to what you just described,only what i did was paint a 3mm x1mm strip french blue,and then paint 1mm x1mm strip yellow ochre,then stick the 1x1mm to each side of the3x1mm.then when all dry cut what lengths you need for the window frames.also used this method for the bow decoration. Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/
