Big Girtha Build Part 18, Trim Tape Placement



I used the same paper to trim the diagonal stripe ends.

Wrap it around and trim along the edge.
In time the tape will shrink some, you'll want to allow for overlap.


Here I'm trimming the bottom end of the diagonals.

It looks pretty good like this and could be left as is.

The final two black horizontal stripes are layed down over the red diagonal ends.

Years back many catalog models were trimmed using colored electrical tape.
This is easier than you might think.
Once the tape sets down, it won't lift easily.




Always print extra decals!
This one was left over from the first build.
