Most of the time they turn out that good, but I have had to touch up before. The trick is to lay your tape down and overlap the window. Then use something small to press the tape down in the seem. Finally cut the outline out with an Xacto knife by following that same seem line.
Also, you should use light coats of paint at first. This will seal up the edges and not allow the heavier coats to seep thru.
Removing the tape is critical too. Don't wait for the paint to completey dry. I slowly and carefully remove the tape while the paint is still a little bit tacky, this prevents the edges from cracking. Don't remove it too early though or you might pull up the paint. With the Tamiya, I remove the tape about 30 minutes after the last coat.
