I'm working on the AMT 1/200 scale Saturn V but I'm having trouble getting the black sections on the fuselage painted. My first problem is that I sprayed the whole thing down with a white base (Tamiya, with a Paasche air brush), but that's coming off on my hands. Should I have followed up the base with a coat of some kind? But I think that's why the Tamiya tape I used isn't sticking properly so I'm getting bleed instead of clean edges when I try to paint the black sections. Then there's the tiny little ridges on parts of the fuselage. Any suggestions on how to get tape into those ridges to keep the lines sharp?
I assume only people familiar with the model or ones like will know what I'm talking about, if I'm making any sense at all.
