    Default fuselage painting

    What would be a good way to make a straight line with tape for painting the fuselage. With the way the fuselage curves in from the rear of the door trying to lay the tape straight hasn't worked very well. And after all this work I don't want a weird wavy paint line.

    I also used a laser line, then masked the laser line with the fine line tape.
