Even with the Eduard masks, it still took me two evenings!!

You apply liquid mask inside the border for the bulbous windows.

Foam was used to mask the engines and u/c bays.

I used wet tissue for the tricky area, masking the open window where the gun sticks out. The yellow strip is also painted. There is actually a decal for this, but I decided to paint it so it's the same colour as the wing tip yellow. As usual with yellow, you need a white undercoat, then about 4 coats of yellow.

Now I will leave the paint to harden for a few days, mask the yellow, and spray the underside.
Not looking forward to masking the underside - there's a lot of area to cover!
Not looking forward to masking the camp pattern either. It's a big area, and no straight lines!! (unless somebody knows of a version with a splinter pattern ?)
In fact, to be honest, I don't really enjoy masking.....
