MX-774 Kitbash Painting Part 17


Here's that mask, almost ready for paint.

I still have to add some cut up grocery bag pieces between the fins, but wanted to show it before all is covered up.

Scotch tape wouldn't stay down and roll over the fin edges. The black/white color separations run right down the center of the fin edges.
I had to use masking tape.

Jumping ahead, here's the paint after removing the tape.

There was quite a bit of cleaning up with an XActo knife tip. The masking tape over the fin edges didn't give a great line.
I'd scrape off a bit of too much black, then touch up the white side with a Sharpie pen.
Is it perfect? No.
Close enough for sport scale!
