Ranger Clone Build Part 25 Black Body Stripe


There is one black stripe running up the body from the side of the lowest black block to the right of the single black fin.

It's the same width as the upper payload section stripes, just over 5/8" wide.

Notice I've made a small 45 degree cut in the corner. This will lay over the rounded
yellow fin tip.


The stripe is layed down using my aluminum angle to be sure it is running straight up the body.

Notice the overlap of the angled corner cut in the black tape. This helps define the color separation at the fin tip.
The angle cut lets you overlap the tape onto the black paint. In time, all vinyl tapes can shrink so overlap it slightly so you'll always have coverage.





Lay a 1/4" strip around the body tube over the vertical stripe.
That rough end can be taken off with sandpaper on a block.
