When I visited both Estes and Centuri in the mid 1970s, I was surprised when I saw the actual models used in the catalog pages.
Some didn't look as good close up and in person.
The Estes and Centuri catalog models show a lot of airbrushing.
I did ask about how they got some of the finish effects.
Difficult masks were sometimes just colored (or sprayed) paper cut with scissors and glued to the model.
Electrical tape was also used for trim lines.
Any thin lines are easier to make with these tapes - without masking.
Here's some I just picked up at Home Depot for about $3.50.
