Last night I re-spray painted the underside of the plane with white paint. Tonight I spent an hour masking it in preparation of the olive green paint. I use glad cling rap with tape around the edges. Unfortunately I ran out of the Tamiya masking tape and had to resort to using 3M scotch tape as I feel I cannot afford to delay masking the plane till tomorrow. While the 3M scotch tape may cause a bit of paint bleeding it is probably the best alternative to standard scotch tape that I have on hand. I also found out that buying the tape on eBay from Hong Kong costs about $6 where as locally it costs over almost $12, the tradeoff is that it takes about 3-4 weeks to get the item in the mail.
