A couple of people asked how to mask the panel, simple, two pieces of masking tape on a bit of mdf, draw up the shape in autocad and into the laser. I use the outline, but when im doing Blue/grey coaches I do it the opposite way ie masking the grey and spraying the blue although it does work the opposite way.

the other thing i that so far i have used my cheap airbrush as it has a .5 nozzle but for this sort of thing I break out the good 'brush (top). it is essential to get a fine spray away from the mask otherwise paint creeps under the mask and if you are too enthusiastic there is the likelihood of getting a paint ridge. as soon as the paint is on remove the mask dont leave it for days!
This method also works well for roundels, invasion stripes etc
