For masking tape I have two on my desk. Tamiya, again, makes a masking tape that is fantastic. It's not cheap but see my photos above.....all with Tamiya tape. I burnish the paint edge with a fingernail or a wooden coffee stir. The Tamiya is used on the edge only. I then fill in with Shurtape CP150 brand light tack one inch tape. That and plastic food bags cover big areas.

I have an airbrush, 3 in fact, and I use them at times........but all above are spray cans.
