Nice masking work for the paint job in 1:72.

If I can provide a tip: A trick is to touch up the paintwork using a tiny tiny brush from Tamiya. With a layer of say Vallejo primer as a base, non-thick paint blend nicely over the painted surface. This ofc will require a steady hand and good focus. I prefer this kind of fix, instead of insisting going over the model again with an airbrush and worrying about masking and risking overspray if the masks aren't covering the model properly all over.

Having said that, close up photos are brutal and will show more details than one was aware of. One time camping I took tthis flower photo not knowing what it would look like. It ended up looking like this: popular.pics/reddit/post/w1yy6e (image upload) I didn't notice the thing until after I got home. 🙂

Yes it's amazing how those fractions of millimeters stand out.
