May be too thick may not be dry enough. What do you do do you start and finish 1 shell or do you have a few on the go that you rotate through giving them longer between coats. Drying transparent I've found to be fine with the heat gun but the opaques are a different kettle of fish.
Thank you for the reply but any other advice would be a great help.

Hey Chef,
applying paint too thick or mask too thin? maybe? mask would remove fine when the paint is wet still but it would definately open up the possiblility of catching the paintwork and marking the previously painted surface. So I don't think that would be the problem,
Nevertheless I use a hair dryer to dry mine and I let the whole body get warmed up and apply heat to both inside and outside of the body to give the best drying effect
If yur apply the paint a little too thick before drying it will definately cause it to overlap (build up)on the mask and will cause the paint to tear when removing the mask even if the paint is dry.
I'd try apply the paint in thinner coats, and possibly giving a extra coat of liquid mask if it only tends to happen on the last bits of mask to be removed.
I also re-cut the lines around the windows before removal as these get hit with the most paint.
A bit of a essay but hope it helps.
