Yeah, that makes sense, going to have to try that one my next model. My luck: the glue and plastic will all harden inside the bottle!

I think I'm learning that! By doing all the bad ways

I've had enough sanding, so I pushed ahead with taping it off (only Tamiya tape this time, thanks Markus!). I used Mission Models HULL RED ANTI FOULING NORFOLK 65A MMP-111 with a few drops of flat red added, and made sure to make enough to have some left over for touch up.

Thanksfully, no paint came off on the tape!

Now I can finish painting the hatch insides and then gluing them into place, hopefully a nice neat pair of rows (they are just sitting in place currently, all crooked & haphazard-looking).

Then at last I can start on the missile smoke and lights!
