Heh, when it comes to masking the clear parts, one might just want to relax and take it easy.
What I did, was using many tiny bits of masking tape. Instead of trying to cut accurate patches of masking tape, I just added tiny bits of tape, eventually covering every corner and filling the larger open area of the clear part after that.

One could try simply use a hand and a brush, but I think that won't look as nice as when using an airbrush (and then one has to add masking).

Thanks @Treehugger I'll bear that in mind, although... current thinking is that I'd use the windowless cockpit and the decals on the gun positions but we'll see when I get to that bit. My main worry with those but is that they've got PE replacements and I'll be breaking out the learning curve to work out how that works 😁

Thanks all for the comments and likes. It was an enjoyable build (apart from the PE!!).

Sidetracked from building the MPC AT-AT, thought I'd make a start on this one. Going to be my first dip into Photoetch so wish me luck!
