Masking tape and putty

I'm in the process of doing the '55 Revell Chevy and, of course, the underside of the hood has the Grand Canyon scribing just in case you wanted to put a hood scoop on.

I've done some filling with styrene strip, but there are some braces etc. that require extreme care so as not to sand them off. Just for giggles, I masked off one of the braces, then applied some Testor's putty; after a few minutes, I used an Xacto knife the trim along the edge of the tape, then removed the tape.

It's a nice clean line and sanding is much easier (less material to mess with).

Does anybody else do this?
