MX-774 Kitbash Tape Trim Part 18


I didn't feel like masking the ring on the upper body tube so I did a 1/4" wide wrap of black electrical tape. Electrical tape is an easy trim material for bands and stripes. When applying it, try not to stretch it.

I used a Sharpie pen to mark around the top of the tube.



At the outside edge of the white side of the fins is a black rectangle. I used electrical tape again.







The small tape squares had to wrap halfway around the sides of the rounded fin edges. I made a small puddle of thick CA on my work table. A toothpick was dipped in the CA, then transferred the small drop to the edge of the fin. The tape side was rolled over and down into the CA.
