proper positioning lights are key for "Heinz" once he reaches the treacherous bottom of the North Sea 🙂

that's Photoshop, by the way - not the real model (just to avoid confusion)
I wanted to find out which pattern looked better, a straight or a tilted one. Well, the tilted one I liked, but it was impossible to realize (at least at my skill level) so I went for an even simpler pattern with just four strikes

The mask are included with the Pegasus kit, and they are really helpful

Reality. The shape of the submarine was just too uneven to have diagonal lines. In addition, the (useful) masks tend to be easily lifted with Tamiya tape which would have been a huge problem. (Obviously lots of small parts are still missing, as well as additional painting.
