Hi, nice lantern. For future reference, may I suggest the use of Tamiya masking tape. It is low tack and should not damage your decals etc. and is easily available at all good model shops. It is a tad expensive,depending on your point of view, but it is very good.
Nice one John g i will bare that in mind a lot quicker and it will allso come in handy in other projects
