Use "Frog Tape". It is green, and available at Lowe's and Home Depot. The tape is thinner, has less adhesive, and gives super crisp lines. I use it extensively. I also use the blue tape extensively, but not on any delicate surface. The Frog tape costs significantly more, but since it is thin, one roll goes a long long way.
Next time, you may want to buy Kryon. It dries extremely well in about 8 hours. The first coat dries hard in about 4 hours.
Testors and Rustoleum are good, but can take up to 3 days to dry, in a warm, low humidity room.
If you have forced air heat, (not a heat pump), then try putting your model on a piece of cardboard, about two feet from the vent. That hot dry air is really great for curing the paint.
