Quest Aurora Build, Part 11, Stickers and Cleaning Up

The instructions say the glider will perform better is left unpainted.
I thought I'd go for a compromise, painting it while still keeping it as light as possible.
The balsa was filled with CWF. No gray primer filler was used.
The glider got two light coats of gloss white.
The instructions say to paint it light gray and the bottom of the wing black. I avoided some of the primer and paint coats.

TIP: Canopies like this never conform to the curves of a nose cone.
The canopy was cut into three separate pieces.
The back was set down first on the flat shoulder. Putting this piece down first will make it easier to center the larger window pieces.
Other USAF and star and bar stickers were set down on the wings and rudders.

TIP: The mask line on the black fin wasn't good. The root mask angle was just too tight for any tape to fit well.

I used a fine point Sharpie to draw in a better black line.
Set the side of the pen barrel against the straight lug to help draw a new line in the crack.

Here's the new black separation line.
You can't really see it unless you look close.

This really only works with a black pen on black paint. Black is black and the pen line will match up with the paint. Other colors never match.
