Estes Payloader II #3022 Build, Part 13, More Masking





The top of the body tube gets a band of red, 1/4" down from the top lip.

Again I used a strip of marked Scotch tape.
The center area of the body tube was covered with a wrap of printer  paper.

The inset picture shows the full mask for the upper red band.
Inside the tube is masked with small pieces of masking tape, set in the tube sticky side out.
A roll of paper goes in the tube. A piece of masking tape holds it to the pieces of tape already in the tube end.



The nose cone will also be red.

TIP: The nose cone is pulled out slightly so a little bit of red goes on the shoulder.
This insures the entire top will look red even if the nose cone is not entirely seated in the payload tube.
