A plastic grocery bag was used to mask off most of the model.Cut off the bag handle, Stick over the nose cone end and tape in place.
I'll have to go back and paint the black rudder underneath the model. At first glance I thought the only black was only on the rear tail fins.
At the front of the fin the mask wasn't perfect. This little flub will hopefully be cleaner with the silver coming next.
It's interesting that Quest has you paint the black first, then paint the silver second. My experience has shown that putting masking tape over (curing) silver paint makes a mess of a final finish.
Quest got this one right!
For the first time I tried scotch tape for line delineation and it worked fantastically! Another great technique I picked up here. Thx
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeff!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it worked, it's a lot cheaper and more readily available than the specialty hobby masking tapes. For others who haven't tried it, be sure your undercoat surface is smooth and clean. Lightly burnish down the edges at the color separation line.
