Hey guys im new here ^^
Im currently working on an MG aile strike gundam (my skill = moderate). Neway, for those who built this kit, im wondering how you painted/panel lined the thrusters on the aike striker pack. Seems like no matter what approach I try, ill get paint on unwanted areas.

try a toothpick, that seems to work but don't ask me how to use it, i NEVER paint my gundams, too afraid to mess things up ![:-/](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/undecided.png)

Well I'm not really experienced myself but toothpick is rather small to hold on too.
I myself used a wooden chopstick and sharpen one end till it can enter those narrow space. Dip it lightly in paint and you're ready to go.
You can practically customized that chopstick to any various shape to adapt to each of those many narrow spaces.
Of cost you'll need to manually place masking tape to the areas you don't want to paint so that'll be tricky.
Oh and be in a very well lighted room as the moment you want to paint, your shadow blocked your sight. Haiz.... the pain...
