The mask for the black band around the nose cone was a little more complicated, it has a masked on both curved sides.The Scotch tape was cut on the window as before and marked with a wide permanent marker.
Those strips were cut to around 3/16" wide and place on either side of the recessed bands molded into the nose cone. Masking tape and grocery bag pieces finished up the mask.
This is after the masks were removed.
The lines came out well because I set the masking edge just to the sides of the molded lines. If the tape were right on the recessed lines, the paint could bleed and look ragged.
The Testor's Spray Enamel is great paint - expensive for a 3 oz. can, but a great spray paint.
The Testor's Olive Drab came out very smooth.
