Scavenger! Build Part 26 Black Tape Trim

1/8" wide strips of black electrical tape were set on either side of the gold Monokote trim. This helps tie in the black color on the upper body.

I didn't have to cut the black strips at an angle over the root edge. These stripes were thin and would fold over the root edge easier than the wider gold stripes.
You could cut them in a open "V" shape like the wider gold stripes.
I cut them from electrical tape out of convenience. I didn't have any black trim Monokote handy.


This is the finished fin.
The gold and black stripes roll over the top of the root edges and were trimmed off a little above the trailing edge.





The upper body got the same stripe treatment at the black/white color separation line.

All that's left now is the name decal.
