... I did mine with a brush and masking , starting with the blue , getting the top edge straight . then a day later masked for the grey stripe making a straight edge top and bottom , making sure the top mask covers about 0.5mm of the blue to make the bottom edge of the blue stripe , and the top edge of the grey ! - when the masking is taken off , it leaves the narrow blue stripe along the top edge of the grey !... Humbrol blue 14 Humbrol grey 129 Hope you can follow ok !! - close up pic for example here ....  |

Another alternative is to do the grey stripe first , then mask off and do the fine blue line - but i havnt tried this , as i think the blue is too fine to do on its own ? |
