What are some recommendations for masking tape for the painting of small 1/144 scale aircraft. I need it to bend around corners and to leave sharp lines without lifting the previous paint. Thanks

Hi Vic,
I suggest you to try Jammydog. I am sure you'll like it... I am using it for years for the most delicate paintwork.
All the best,
Entoni

For masking curves I use Tamiya tape. I cut thing strips in a arc to aid in it's bending to the curvature I need.
