Thanks guys for the suggestions on the tape. What I have coming in from Amazon tomorrow is 3M precision masking tape #06529 3/4x60 yds and #06525 1/4"x60 yds.

There was a comment in the feedback by one user it was low tack ... I've never used it before but they had Prime shipping and I wanted it here for Friday so I can finish my project. I hope it works well. I couldn't find the Tamiya tape but I know others speak very highly of that brand so I was really looking for that. Good to know Sirius Rocketry has it I have purchased from them before but didn't even think to look there for Tamiya tape.

I'll let you guys know how this 3M stuff works. Tomorrow around noon will be three days so my recoat window will be up. I want to paint two horizontal stripes in black and two horizontal stripes in red on the white background of the body tube and mask off to paint all the fins red. Not a lot of tape needed but I sure don't want it to bleed or lift up.
