I missed this before...

I like the vertical stripes on the upper Type 90. A simple technique with strips of white tape but it would break up the outline from a distance. I'm less sure about the effectiveness of all those white dots  :-\

I wonder when they expect the painter(s) to get out of therapy after masking it?

It's on its way to the next paint shop in the process to get the next color applied. Then it gets sent to another completely different contractor to get the tape removed. Government efficiency in action.
