Mega Mosquito Build Part 8, Yellow Paint and Black Mask
This one is a easy mask, just two colors and no masking tape in tight root edges.
Here's the model after the yellow coats. The paint used was the Rustoleum 2X Yellow.
Looking at the face card picture, the black paint goes about 7/8" above the leading edge of the fin opposite the launch lug side.
I wrapped a copy paper strip around the body tube for a horizontal line reference. It took a few tries to get the copy paper strip straight.
The cut clear Scotch tape (marked with a wide permanent marker) was set right above the white paper strip.
The vertical black mask line is at the center between the fins.
The paper strip was marked at the top of the fins and folded in half to find the center point.
The tube was marked with pencil at the top and bottom.
Another Scotch tape strip was placed to the side of the pencil marks.
